Seeking Northwest Trees

At times it seems urban trees are disappearing rapidly in the name of progress, but here the authors present 130 plus noteworthy native and "exotic" tree species growing throughout greater Portland neighborhoods dating from early settlement days in Portland. Along with neighborhood tree tours, street locations, photos, botanical and common tree name, the authors give us a glimpse of the story of the origin of many of the trees. The authors offer the reader a unique opportunity to get an upclose view of some great native Northwest trees along with other trees planted and thriving in Portland.
