The most comprehensive and user-friendly field guide to the trees of
eastern North America
Covering 825 species, more than any comparable field guide, Trees of
Eastern North America is the most comprehensive, best illustrated, and
easiest-to-use book of its kind. Presenting all the native and
naturalized trees of the eastern United States and Canada as far west as
the Great Plains--including those species found only in tropical and
subtropical Florida and northernmost Canada--the book features superior
descriptions; thousands of meticulous color paintings by David More that
illustrate important visual details; range maps that provide a thumbnail
view of distribution for each native species; "Quick ID" summaries; a
user-friendly layout; scientific and common names; the latest taxonomy;
information on the most recently naturalized species; keys to leaves and
twigs; and an introduction to tree identification, forest ecology, and
plant classification and structure. The easy-to-read descriptions
present details of size, shape, growth habit, bark, leaves, flowers,
fruit, flowering and fruiting times, habitat, and range. Using a broad
definition of a tree, the book covers many small, overlooked species
normally thought of as shrubs. With its unmatched combination of breadth
and depth, this is an essential guide for every tree lover.
