About This Book

A compact field guide offering clear descriptions and identification aids for native trees and larger shrubs alongside a selection of long-naturalized and ornamental exotics. Textual species accounts are supplemented by numerous plates, coloured water‑colour studies, and photographs that contrast summer and winter aspects and illustrate bark, flowers, fruits, and leaf‑buds for quick recognition. An introductory section contrasts commercial and aesthetic viewpoints on planting and forest growth, while the main body provides notes on form, foliage, reproductive structures, and practical uses. A classified index and practical illustrations make the volume a portable reference for identifying and appreciating wayside and woodland trees.
