Illustrated Book Of Trees

First published in the 1960s, this guide has been revised to include recently-introduced species, and incorporates changes in taxonomy, nomenclature and geographic range. Identification of 250 trees is by leaves, flowers and fruits in summer, or by twigs, buds and bark in winter. William Carey Grimm's classic Illustrated Book of Trees has been the authority on eastern North American tree identification for over 40 years.

Now available in a completely updated edition, this book includes recently-introduced species and incorporates changes in taxonomy, nomenclature, and geographic range, with distinguishing characteristics and similar-species comparisons for quick and accurate identification. Readers will be able to easily identify a species by observing the leaves, flowers, and fruits of a tree in summer or its twigs, buds, and bark in winter.

Written in straightforward, non-scientific language for beginning botanists of any age. A glossary of terms and a complete index are included.
