Took this out from the library for a trip to the Ochoco Mountains, then decided to buy it. I'm horrible at remembering plant names, so I need a handy guide.
This is actually around sixty years old, published by the Oregon State University, but this edition is the first to include color photos, which help with identification immensely. The identification techniques presented here are simple, and the text helps not just inidentification, but with information about the tree and its place in Oregon naturally, historically, and commercially (uhg).

Excellent book with all the details you need to know about local trees in Oregon. It includes a flowchart (dichotomous key) to help you identify the trees in your own backyard and as you hike around and explore. The Western Larch is a particularly fascinating one!

Not a bad skinny tree book. An excellent starter book for tree identification if you are fortunate enough to live in the Pacific Northwest. This book does still go outside the boundaries of native trees. I have a mystery tree that grows in my backyard. This book led me to the correct conclusion that it was a fruit tree.
