It's the easiest and most fool-proof tree identification guide available. Four visual keys--die-cut leaf, bark pattern, distinguishing flower, seed, or nut, and photo of the full tree--and descriptions of height, shape, habitat, and more combine to give a complete picture of North America's forest and backyard trees. In addition, TREES is a cultural history--of the mighty White Oak and California Redwood, the tree that grows in Brooklyn and the important White Ash, as useful for Native American bows as for the powerful bats of our national pastime. 50 individually die-cut cards, full-color throughout.
