Peterson Field Guide (R) to Eastern Trees

As you wander through the woods, don't you just wonder what kind of trees you are seeing? This book gives detail on determining types of trees by leaves, bark, etc. It is a small enough guide to carry with you when you are on a great adventure!

Bought as a present for Fl. people. Great sections on Fl. trees and palms. Also what areas to find these trees

Great book, very short and to the point on the specific trees I was interested in researching.

This has been wonderful us as a homeschooling family. It has been an excellent resource to identifying trees in our area. I recommend it to anyone teaching their children at home about trees.

I use other field guides for browsing, but this is the guide I use when I go out into the field and I really want to identify things. It uses a very clear key to subdivide trees into specific groups (like needleleaf/broadleaf or opposit-leaved/alternate-leaved), narrowing down the choices and making identification much easier. The drawings are very clear, and as a bonus, you get a tiny map for each species identifying its exact geographical range. Highly recommended.
