[Morgan L · Rating 5 out of 5]

There is a lot of varied and useful information contained in this volume as to identification of the trees described as well as practical and traditional magical uses. A very good guide in my opinion.

Interesting format filled with information on significant trees, mostly indigenous to North America. I liked the inclusion of Native American information on the tree types. I was disappointed in how conifers were all listed under Pine and the limited number of Oak species covered.
