Golden Guide to Trees

If, when in the forest, we know the names of the trees we are more at home. My well-worn Golden Guide to Trees is a reliable source of information for tree identification.

I have a couple of other guides but reach for the Golden Guide first because I find it easier to identify things from illustrations rather than photographs. The guide features over 730 species of trees grouped in 76 families. Each species description includes characteristics-tree shape, bark, leaf, flower, fruit and twig-for quick identification. As with any guide one must learn how to use it properly.

Become familiar with the family descriptions and nomenclature featured in the front of the book and you will be a tree expert in no time. The Golden Guides have been around for decades and remain popular for their clarity, simplicity and utility.
