Collins Tree Guide by
Owen Johnson Synopsis
The definitive, fully-illustrated guide to the trees of
Britain and non-Mediterranean Europe. This brand-new field guide to the trees of
northern Europe contains some of the finest original tree illustrations ever
produced. The introduction contains illustrations of the main leaves, buds, and
firs you are likely to find, and these provide the starting point for
identification by leading you to a 'key' species. Within each tree family there
is a list of key species and a guide to the most important features to look for
when identifying a particular tree from that family. Then individual species are
clearly described and a detailed illustration is given on the same page.
Covering all the tree species found outside the major arboretums, from the olive
tree to the eucalyptus, this is one of the most important tree guides to have
appeared in the last 20 years. The illustrations are annotated with essential
identification features, and the text highlights the most important things to
look for to aid fast and accurate identification. There is also coverage of all
the species native to Southern Europe.
