Hardly the definitive guide, but this book is SO HANDY! It has a very good collection of the most common trees & makes it very easy for even a novice to find out the name (both common & Latin) for an unknown, native tree. Some invasives (non-native) included, but again, only the most common ones. I carry one in my truck or in my back pocket most of the time. I identify 95% of the trees I see with this or at least get a good idea of what they are. Then I can use a better reference to figu...more
This had always been my go-to book for tree identification. It's format is sort of a choose-your-own-adventure for tree identification. It's small enough to fit in your pocket and contains drawings rather than photographs.
I first used this book (along with
Desert Tree Finder: a pocket manual for identifying desert trees) in a hands-on college course that had us trekking through the southwest on a 3-week camping trip. That class cemented in me a life-long love of trees. It's been a while since...more

Easy-to-use and informative, even for a non-tree loving schlock like myself.

I first read this in high school for my leaf collection project. I have since purchased this book for my children. I want them to be able to identify trees they ask about on our hikes. It is a wonderful book for all ages.
Used little book in general botany class. I think this book helps a lot to identify tree and is very useful.
You can narrow down most trees with this handy little ID guide.
A good gift for your favorite tree lover.
