Customer Reviews

Not bad.

This is a pretty good tree book.Not my favorite, but not bad.The illustrations aren't real exciting but they are more than good enough for identification purposes.All in all a pretty good book for someone who wants to learn about the trees of the Eastern US.

Grimm Trees

Excellent book for those interested in identifying eastern forest trees. The full page sketches of leaves, fruit, and buds are very accurate and would look great as framed art. The book also contains a system of summer and winter identifying keys for each species, and a very interesting section on "forest association", ( which trees live together). The text on each species is very complete. This book is a lesson on trees for anyone who loves trees or wants to identify or learn about them. This book is of northern trees. Grimm's later book, "The Illustrated Book of Trees", includes the southern trees also. Same book, more trees.
