Good pocket companion! I wanted a small portable book for taking on my walks and this is perfect, do not expect an exhaustive treatise. This covers the most common trees of my state but sure includes a lot of species. The photos are very good, nice and clear. The front of the book has a key to help you sort out where to start searching in the book.
Good resource for selecting trees A nice little book. The pictures are clear, and the info is easy to understand. I had several trees cut down recently, and this book will be used to help me select replacements.
