Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

More than 300 species of trees are found in the United States and Canada west of the Rocky Mountains, some introduced from other continents but many native to the region. This handsome guidebook covers them all, with photographs that enable identification by easily discernible characteristics: by, for example, the shape of the leaf or needle, by the fruit, or by the flower or cone. The photographs are linked to texts that describe a tree's physical characteristics, habitat, and range. Some of the trees covered in this volume are exceedingly rare, such as the Monterey pine; others are locally abundant but limited in range, such as the Joshua tree; still others, such as the quaking aspen, are widespread. This guidebook is an essential addition to any western outdoor enthusiast's collection. --Gregory McNamee

Product Description

All 933 identification pictures are full-color photos of significant details of virtually all native trees and many cultivated species as you see them in their natural habitat.

3.0 out of 5 stars There is a better book, January 23, 2000
This review is from: National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Trees--E: Eastern Region (Imitation Leather)
If you live north of a line from Virginia to Northern California get Trees of Northern United States and Canada by John Farrar: a) Superior Bark Photographs - bark at different ages when necessary, full trunk shown b) Line drawings leaf, bud and flower (supplemented with color photos when necessary). c) Key guides for both summer and winter identification. d) Everything on one page. This book is the result of over 40 years by the Canadian Forest Service.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty, but mostly useless, November 3, 1999
By jerry smith (pell city, al USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Trees--E: Eastern Region (Imitation Leather)
If you are serious about identifying trees, this book won't help much. A lot of the most common trees are omitted, particularly in the oak family. The thrust of this book seems more toward the odder varieties. I wish I had my money back.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good secondary reference, March 16, 2002
By Jamie R. Storey (Pittsburgh, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Trees--E: Eastern Region (Imitation Leather)
This book relies heavily on color photos of bark, leaves, flowers, and fruiting bodies. This method makes winter identification diificult, and even when in leaf subtleties which differentiate species may not be evident. I use the Peterson guide to trees and shrubs (ISBN 039535370X) as my primary resource, and use the Audubon book as a secondary source.
