What's that Tree?: The Simplest ID Guide Ever

A well indexed book with sections by general appearance of a leave. Veery good illustrations which assist in the identification of a leave and the tree.

Bought to enlighten me about the trees around me when I go walking in the Peak District National Park and elsewhere. But I also was happy that I'd taken it along as holiday reading to Madeira. More than just a spotter guide to trees, well worth a read.

For a beginner to tree-spotting like me, I needed something which clearly helps me to identify a tree without getting lost in detail. This is great. And good clear illustrations and descriptions of the main identifying points to look for.

Good range of trees with info on leaves, bark, seeds and tree shape to aid identification.

Great reference

Really useful, nicely illustrated and easy to find what you are looking for. Information in the book is very useful and interesting. A great introductory companion for walking.

It's a useful little book but not comprehensive enough if you really want to get to identify trees. Not enough information generally. But it IS great on leaves, with excellent pictures, which a lot of more detailed tree books don't have. So it's very useful as a "support book" I'd say.

The first part is excellent explanation of tree make up. Then moves quickly to more complicated but understandable information
