THE LAST TREE

This is a very poor scan...don't know why my scanner wouldn't cooperate...tried several times.
This is a ''memory'' tree of the Grand Fir. They are the tallest of all silver firs. The foliage when bruised gives the strong scent of oranges.
It generally grows on the coast of northern California, all the way up to Vancouver Island and British Columbia. Also seen in the Cascade and Siskiyou mountains.
You seldom see ''cones'' from this tree, as they are all hidden in the very top of only trees that are about 200 ft. tall and are over 100 years old...plus they disintegrate on the tree.
