Presenting all the native and naturalized trees of the eastern United States and Canada as far west as the Great Plains--including those species found only in tropical and subtropical Florida and northernmost Canada--the book features superior descriptions; thousands of meticulous color paintings by David More that illustrate important visual details; range maps that provide a thumbnail view of distribution for each native species; \"Quick ID\" summaries; a user-friendly layout; scientific and common names; the latest taxonomy; information on the most recently naturalized species; keys to leaves and twigs; and an introduction to tree identification, forest ecology, and plant classification and structure. The easy-to-read descriptions present details of size, shape, growth habit, bark, leaves, flowers, fruit, flowering and fruiting times, habitat, and range. Using a broad definition of a tree, the book covers many small, overlooked species normally thought of as shrubs. With its unmatched combination of breadth and depth, this is an essential guide for every tree lover.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe most comprehensive, best illustrated, and easiest-to-use field guide to the trees of eastern North America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers 825 species, more than any comparable guide, including all the native and naturalized trees of the United States and Canada as far west as the Great Plains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures specially commissioned artwork, detailed descriptions, range maps for native species, up-to-date taxonomy and names, and much, much more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn essential guide for every tree lover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is a very well-organized, well-written, and thorough guide.
