The ultimate tree guide

This is the only tree guide you need. It has the best science and is easy to use. Learning what grows around you is so rewarding.

Just what I needed

This is a great book for the camper. Can't wait until Spring to get out there and use it. Service was great and fast.

it is a great easy to use, precise way to identify trees.

I used it in my Biology class and i decided to get a copy for myself, it is a great easy to use tree identifier. It is much nicer than the Audobon series.

Simply the best there is!!!!!

I have used this book for over 25 years and still come back to it every time, that someone has a question about trees. It gives clear concise descriptions of not only the leaves, but bark and twigs. It has many trees in it that other books omit, and I find that is many times a fairly common tree that is overlooked. My daughter used the book for High School Biology, now my 14 yo son is using it and younger son is using it in his life science course.

Simply the best tree guide available for starters or experts

This guide uses a simple key to identify most common (and a few uncommon)trees in the Eastern US and Canada. At the end of the search are some of the most interesting facts and details I've found. At this price, this book should be in everybody's hip pocket every time you enter the woods!
