An interesting book but sadly it's in no coherent order. There is no order be it species, region or alphabetical.

Interesting but not suitable as a field guide.

Definitely the best tree species guide book out there. Good to take on nature trails, camping and National Trust trips. lots of photos and descriptions.
I would argue a lot of these didn't need to be in the book as they weren't British trees you would be likely to come across at all but interesting all the same.

Although this guide is very good, it's not one of the best for identifying trees.

excellent reference book. several pages in the front are great to photograph, and you can identify bark, leaves, twig, and fruit by a couple pages. best reference book I've found so far

I found this very useful. It might not be the most informative, in-depth or well-organised tree identification guide out there, but I find it pretty good. The photographs, in particular, are a great help. It might be over-marketed and I wonder if there is a better guide (there probably is!), but it does the trick.

There is no key at the begining so it makes it difficult to accuratly identify the tree your looking at, but the pictures and descriptions and measurments are very accurate, providing you can recognise the family the tree is from. would reccomend that there are better books for identifying trees than this one, but if you like pretty photos of leaves this is the book for you

The best bits of this book are about the tree biology. Now I'm collecting samples of leaves and berries and fruits. I hope to be able to hug some woody friends soon. Essential knowledge for all elves and pixies.

Lovely book that gives you the confidence to identify trees.
