Editorial Reviews
From the Author
Using the unique system of identification employed in the author's other tree books, 243 common or unique trees of North America are divided into six major groups according to conspicuous characteristics. Within those categories, trees that look alike are brought together and compared in text and illustration.
The color plates, beautifully painted by Olivia Petrides and Janet Wehr, emphasize details that may not be present or clearly visible in a photograph. Differences between trees that resemble each other are clearly pointed out. Information also is provided on the ecology and natural history of trees, including the ways they are used by people and wildlife.

Now there is a guidebook to trees--one of the most popular subjects in the Peterson Field Guide series--for the beginning naturalist. The 243 trees are grouped into six categories by leaf type and arrangement, making it easier for the beginner to identify unknown species. 200 color illustrations.
