A comprehensive pocket-sized field guide, covering around 80 species of trees and large shrubs that are common in Britain and the rest of Europe.
The introduction explains the basics of tree forms and their identification. Each species is illustrated by the author's remarkable photographs. The text covers information such as ID features for bark, flowers, fruit and leaves, blossoming and fruiting times, distribution, habitat, status, confusion species and interesting facts such as plant uses.
This book is as visually impressive as it is useful in the field, with many stunning full-page and double-page photographs to support the authoritative text. Printed on quality paper, the paperback format with flaps adds to the book's durability in the field and provides built in page-markers for quick reference.
Part of the Pocket Guides series covering British and European wildlife, including garden birds, butterflies, insects, wild flowers, tracking and signs, and orchids.
