Review
A Field Guide to Texas Trees is the most accurate, complete work on native Texas trees. (Sally Wasowski )
The book is valuable because it presents an authoriative list of native and naturalized Texas trees. The range maps are also very useful... (San Antonio Express News )
This is a very good nontechnical treatment of the trees of Texas and is recommended for its readable content... (Sida Herbarium, Southern Methodist University ) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent survey of trees and their natural ranges,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Field Guide to Texas Trees (Gulf Publishing Field Guide Series) (Paperback)
Simpson's field guide is a comprehensive encyclopedic guide to trees "naturally" occuring in Texas. For each species, it provides a shaded map of its counties of occurrence, as well as one page summary of the tree's characteristics and habitats. The color plates (one for each species)are helpful but small. My only complaint is that the omitted general illustrations of the leaf, silhouette, flowers, and fruits of the various trees would have been of great usefullness to the amateur naturalist. Thus, this book must be paired with another to be of maximum utility in the field.
