This handbook has been designed to meet the needs of the general
public as well as those of students and scientists. Concise
descriptions of botanical and silvical characters have been
included for species of trees. Accurate and up-to-date, the new
edition of this highly regarded reference incorporates recent
changes in scientific and common names of trees, and offers
improved distribution maps and more detailed descriptions of
individual species.
All of the trees are grouped by family, from pines and redwoods
to ashes and elders, with a clearly organized key to
identification. Individual entries on hundreds of species offer
concise descriptions of habit, leaves, fruit, twig, and bark. Line
drawings of leaf, flower, and fruit accompany each entry. A
convenient glossary has also been included.
