Customer Reviews:
I love this guide! February 5, 2000 There may be better books out there (according to other reviews contained herein), but, for the novice, I don't think you'll find an easier to use guide. I have two other Audubon guides as well and plan on adding more to my collection.
There is a better book January 24, 2000 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.
Pretty, but mostly useless November 4, 1999 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.
Doesn't get any better than this. July 21, 1999 I love this book. I have little knowledge about the trees in my environment and found this book most informing. I recommend this book to all who have a yearning to learn about their natural habitat.
So good , It made me think about eating tree leaves. June 16, 1999 I started with this book as a beginner , but now I wouldn't considered myself a beginner anymore. it's photographs and descriptions of many trees was a real winner.
