Washington’s wet climate can lead to challenges like root rot, moss buildup, and fungal disease, especially in dense forests. The region’s frequent storms also make hazard tree management and storm-resistant pruning important for maintaining tree health and safety.

Washington’s state tree is the western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla), an evergreen that grows well in the state’s cool, moist forests. It is shade-tolerant and has lightweight wood commonly used in construction and timber production.
