Review # 1 was written on 2016-05-19 00:00:00 Brennan Sekora It has an interesting way of looking up trees that might work better for some laymen than some of the other standard ways. There are 2 sections in the beginning that contain color photos of fruit & flowers, much better than in most books. These colorful items will jump out at you, if the season is correct. Not all are included, obviously - some just don't have conspicuous fruit or flowers. For the rest, there are other sections that break up the leaves in a standard manner. Since it concentrates on a small defined area, it's pretty easy to find what you want - or you won't find it at all. While it does deal with many of the invasive species, it obviously can't get them all. My only problem with the book is the sections aren't marked on every page. It's very easy to get into a different section, while looking a tree up in the field, & not realize it. I wouldn't want this as my only field guide to trees, but it is an excellent supplementary resource.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-10-22 00:00:00 Jamie Schmale Like other books in this series and by this author, the value of this book is that it covers a small region and makes plant identification much easier than the more common identification guides that cover the US or North America. This book because it covers native trees and shrubs will be less useful for city and garden identification. The photographs in this book, both color and black and white, are excellent. The first two sections cover flowers and fruit and include colored photos for easy identification. The back three quarters of the book covers trees and shrubs by family and includes excellent black and white photos of the bark, profile, leaves, buds and fruit are included. Short paragraphs give common and technical names and size information.
