Providing the means to identify 430 species of tree, with tree-groups colour-coded for quick reference, this book covers all the species native to Britain and Europe, including many that are commonly planted or have become naturalized, as well as Mediterranean species. Each of these 168 trees is shown as a mature tree in leaf, with close-up details of the flower-head, leaf and fruiting head. Fact-panels on every page give a detailed summary of the main features of each tree, and similar species are shown in a box on the same page. The index is cross-referenced.
