Trees of Britian and Europe

by Bob Press, Colin Emberson (Illustrator)

Aimed at both the general reader and amateur naturalist, this Green Guide offers a wealth of information on observing and identifying 150 of the most commonly encountered tree species in Britain and Europe. Each tree is described in detail with information on height, shape and important features such as foliage and fruit, and is illustrated with beautifully detailed, full color drawing. The introduction contains information on characteristics to help distinguish one family group of trees from another, and there are also keys which provide step-by-step clues to aid identification. Informative and compact, this book is ideal for both home reference and as a pocket companion in the field.
