Caption describing photograph: "Old growth Douglas fir 300 yrs, 28" DBH 90' Ht. Wind shook, coarse limbed sweeping bole, heart rot, survivor of old fire. Weakly drained lacustrine deposit. Note typical of isolated distribution (single or groups occuring in Sub-Alpine zone). Very infrequent cone crops - low viability, suspect high level inbreeding. No regeneration though receptive bed. West branch, F.E.S. Aleza Lake." Harry Coates stands in the photograph for scale.
