Probably the best book on Ohio trees still

This is an amazing wealth of information crammed into a small book, and speaks to the deep knowledge Braun had of Ohio plants and trees. While this is not a 6th grade tree book, with some basic studying of plant systemics it will be much more useful to the average user. I used this for extensive tree ID and forest monitoring for several years and have nearly worn the lettering of the cover it got so much use. While it's not quite a fit in your back pocket hiking book, it is a definite must for any serious outdoor/forest lover in Ohio and the Appalachians.

An essential reference

This book is an essential reference for anyone from Ohio or nearby states with interests in botany, horticulture, or ecology. The descriptions of the plant species and the line drawings are exceptionally clear. The range maps by county are also very useful. As a nurseryman and native plant enthusiast I would suggest this book to anyone with interest in the topic.
