Which tree species is NOT typically found in the North Woods region?

  1. Black spruce

  2. Larch

  3. Douglas fir

  4. Balsam fir

The correct answer is: Douglas fir

Douglas fir is not typically found in the North Woods region, which is comprised mostly of boreal and mixed coniferous forests. This region is well-known for its cold climate, which is more suitable for species like black spruce, larch, and balsam fir. Douglas fir, on the other hand, thrives in the Pacific Northwest and other milder regions, where the climate and soil conditions differ significantly from those found in the North Woods. It is primarily associated with warmer, temperate rainforests, making it less common in the colder, northern areas dominated by species adapted to harsh winters.
