The tree died in the late 1970s after losing its needles. Limber trees are known to survive harsh conditions and are one of the longest living trees in Alberta. The Burmis tree was estimated to be between 600 and 750 years old. [2] In 1998, it was toppled by wind, however members of local community refused to leave it lying.
This specific inland variety of the tree had been largely removed from the province through fires and forestry. [4] the Douglas Fir is considered to be the largest tree species in Alberta, and with some of the trees in the sanctuary being upwards of 300 years old, these may very well represent some of the largest trees in the province.

The tree remains common across the Prairie Provinces (Alberta is free of Dutch elm disease and other malaises typical of the American Elm). 'Brandon' also remains in cultivation in the city of Bozeman, Montana, where it is prized as an amenity tree by the Forestry Division, [10] and in California.

In Alberta, the province with the largest oil and gas industry, more trees are cut for agriculture or oil and gas exploration than for timber. [34] In Eastern Canada, over 9,000 km 2 (3,500 sq mi) of peatlands and forest have been flooded over the past four decades for hydroelectric projects.
The Canadian flora is depauperate because of the near total glaciation event in the Pleistocene. Due to the vast area of Canada, a tree that is common in one area may be completely absent in another. In particular, many warm-temperate trees can only be grown on the mild Pacific coast (where gardens may contain additional species not listed here).
