5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Picture Book,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Florida's Fabulous Trees: Their Stories (Paperback)
This is a great photo guide to Florida's trees. I wanted to identify some of the trees that we see on our annual vacations to Florida over the years and this book did the trick. It's not a technical horticultural guide but just a book with lots of pictures of hundreds of different species with foliage, flowers, shape, color and anything else you need to sucessfully identify tropical trees.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Not just for Floridians,
By Virginia Allain "retired librarian" (Poinciana, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Florida's Fabulous Trees: Their Stories (Paperback)
This slim (64 pages), oversize book is crowded with photos of flowering Southern trees and a wide variety of palms. It would be better if it included a full picture of a tree showing it's growth pattern and not just pictures of the flowers or seeds. It is more inclusive for the palms, showing full-length photos besides the leaves.
It is indexed inside the back cover. The descriptions are interesting, telling some of the growth habits, and uses of each tree. One problem arises when 3 or 4 trees are shown on one page; it is difficult to tell which block of text matches which photo. Overall, a useful and fairly comprehensive photo album of Florida's trees, filled with lovely, colorful pictures.

Really great pictures,
By
This review is from: Florida's Fabulous Trees: Their Stories (Paperback)
This book has really great pictures in glorious color. That is just about all that can be said for or about this book. The text is so-so: The worst offense appears (p43) "bansai trees" where they mean "bonzai trees", but the rest of the text is not nearly that bad. For a book on trees there are remarkably few trees in it. Something like half the book is palms. The oversized pages make this a somewhat clumsy book. But the pictures are really, really great!
