5.0 out of 5 stars
An outstanding reference, beautifully illustrated.,
This review is from: Trees of the Northern United States and Canada (Hardcover)
This book is a gem; within its area of coverage (Canada and northern US), it is far and away the best taxonomic reference for trees that I have ever seen. Illustrations, range maps, and text are all on the same page for any given tree. Illustrations include color plates and line drawings of bark, fruits, twigs, leaves, and overall tree form; allowing identification of trees at any time of the year. Text is lucid (not heavy on technical botanical language), authoritative, and only a little telegraphic in order to fit the whole thing in a reasonably-sized book (too large for a pocket field guide, but easy to handle). This is what I have always wanted to see in a botanical reference book.

This review is from: Trees of the Northern United States and Canada (Hardcover)
If you want to know about trees in the northern US and Canada this is the one book to buy. It's certainly not a pocket field guide, but for learning trees in all seasons, reproductive parts, bark, leaves/needles it's great. Lots of good color photos. I use this one the most of all the tree ID books I own. Even more than Barnes & Wagner, because of the pictures.

great reference book on trees,

This review is from: Trees of the Northern United States and Canada (Hardcover)
I put Tree Finder or Winter Tree Finder in my pocket when I go for a walk, but this is the book I take out when I get home to learn more, or just for the pleasure of looking at the photos and illustrations. Very thorough--for instance, photos show examples of what the bark looks like on both young and mature trees for most species. It's really a Canadian book (published in Canada as Trees in Canada), but coverage is good for the northern tier states of U.S.
