After nearly 60 years, with descriptions of more than 270 species and almost 200 illustrations, Textbook of Dendrology continues to remain a top resource for taxonomic and silvicultural information on North American trees. In this new edition, material throughout the text has been updated and expanded to provide current information on tree sizes, damaging diseases and insect pest, economic uses, and silvics. Because of growing concern for the environment, it is even more necessary for students to know and understand the importance of conservation. Many of these issues are incorporated throughout the book.

Definitive Textbook,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Harlow and Harrar's Textbook of Dendrology (Paperback)
This book provides descriptive details of most of the commonly occurring trees in North America. It begins with several introductory chapters including an explanation of scientific classification, Latin nomenclature and pronunciation, scientific keys for summer and winter identification, descriptions of variation and environments, and details of reproductive morphology. The main part of the book then considers tree families and their individual members. Characteristic traits of families and trees are presented in text and charts for comparison. Individual entries are provided for most common trees, including Latin and common names, distinguishing characteristics, range, and a general description including uses and diseases. Black and white photographs are provided for most trees, and maps showing geographic distribution. End material includes a glossary, an extensive list of references, and an index.
This is a standard textbook for university-level courses in dendrology, or tree identification. Nevertheless, because it includes all the trees of North America in its scope, it may not be as useful for identification, particularly in the field, as regional guides. Its real strength is in the depth of detail in its descriptions, and its comparison charts of tree families and groupings. It makes an excellent general reference for forest ecology students and foresters.
