A compact, comprehensive field guide to over 500 tree species from around the world
The clearest, most comprehensive illustrated pocket guide to trees from around the world
Suitable for beginners and established enthusiasts alike, DK Handbook: Trees explains what a tree is, how trees are classified, and how to keep a record of the trees you have seen. DK Handbook: Trees uses authoritative text, clear photography, and a systematic approach to make identifying trees quick and simple. Packed with over 1,000 full-color photographs of more than 500 trees, this book cuts through the complicated identification process to enable you to recognize a species instantly.

To help in the initial stages of identification, the book provides a visual key that shows the differences between conifers, broad-leaves, and palms, identifies each genus by leaf type, and guides you to the correct species entry. Every entry combines a precise description with annotated photographs to highlight the tree's chief characteristics and distinguishing features, and a full-color illustration showing the spread, height, and leaf persistence of the species. A concise glossary defines technical and scientific terms. Compact enough to take out into the field or forest, DK Handbook: Trees makes identifying nature's giants easier than ever before.
