The pictures are unfortunately very small and therefore unsharp when zooming…

Safest feature for Douglass, if you don’t know the pins with the “slangings” that look out between the sheds.

= if your tree has other cones, then don’t eat Douglas…

… and why you make tea (old) needles…

Jep these are definitely Douglas(pins)

The bark has (still….) not the typical cracks, but never the “resin-crowded” bark of young Douglas…

Fresh needles and drives have fewer resins and tanning agents…

…prob it, but I can think more delicious teas…

When you brush it with your hand, a Douglas has soft needles – not as hard as spruce.
If you wrap a needle and smell it, it smells like oranges, at least for me.
(A Douglas as a Christmas tree does not needle like a spruce).

You might get better answers here. But I’m pretty sure it’s not Douglas.

Are there pine pegs? You can usually see tree species well.

Yeah, Douglass actually have a special, distinctive smell. I think it’s a beautiful smell. Some people say he stinks.

Enter a picture of the pegs (a good/sharp/zoomable please…)

I saw the picture of the cones. This is clearly a Douglas.

There are several free plant detection apps. You should try. I’m using Plantnet. Often the determination is not quite simple, but I have had very good experiences with the app.
