Probably would’ve been ample old growth trees of that size to pick from back in the day, but a Doug fir is going to be cheaper and actually available

- fifilura 4y agoFrom the looks of it this mast is 24m tall. I can see that douglas firs can become 120m, but that is hardly what you need. More like 35m maybe? That is not a very uncommon tree in Scandinavia. I am also guessing lots of landowners would be proud of gifting a tree for such a noble cause. I think there are douglas firs in Scandinavia, but the question is if they were planted already 60-80 years ago to be able to take from here? Otherwise I guess it is a pretty long delivery from west coast US to Norway. I guess my conclusion is that the douglas fir has better properties (weight/strength) than a scandinavian spruce or pine.
