Collins Tree Guide
Collins Tree Guide: The Most Complete Field Guide to the Trees of Britain and Northern Europe
Code: 021072

This excellent new field guide describes every tree you are likely to see, wild or planted, in countryside, park or garden. Including cultivars and natural variants as well as native and introduced species, it describes over 1500 trees - the biggest number ever included in a single volume. Broadly grouped by family, each major tree group is introduced with a list of key species and checklists of the most important species and features to look for. Each species is described in detail with common and Latin names, shape, height, the appearance of leaves, bark, buds, and flowers, as well as confusable species, variants, cultivars and similar species. Illustrations of each species are shown on the same page for easy reference, with additional illustrations of distinguishing characteristics - winter outline, bark, leaf, flower, fruit - of the species and its variants. Comparisons of winter shoots, conifer leaves, and broadleaf leaves are also included for quick species identification in summer or winter.
