This is the perfect pocket guide for anyone who wants to identify those deciduous or evergreen species they may come across on hill or in dale, in the town or in the countryside.
For each tree included in the book, there is a wealth of both textual and visual identification information. Remarkably detailed illustrations show not only the overall shape of the tree but also details of leaf shape, flowers, fruits and bark. In addition, information is provided on species height, preferred habitat and growing conditions and the origin of the species.
The introduction covers the life cycle of trees, the estalishment of woodland, people’s relationship with forests and how to go about identifying different species, plus the all-important question – what exactly is a tree? A new photographic section helps in identifying the shapes of most common trees.
