Reviews

[Shelbie Van Asten · Rating 4 out of 5]

Panned out photos of the entire tree rather than only macro photos of bark/leaves/needles would helpful. I read the 2001 edition, so maybe the photography in the 2021 has been updated. I agree with a previous review that this field guide is primarily helpful during summer months due to the info provided, but I do still find it handy!

Nice pictures of leaves/needles, but bark, fruit/nut and flower pictures leave something to be desired. Better plan on identifying trees only during the summer with this book as your guide. Decent notes included with some interesting facts. Overall, I found the Field Guide to Trees (National Audubon Society) to be much more useful in identifying trees.
