Additional Native Trees of the Southeast Information

The diversity of woody plants in the Southeast is unparalleled in North America. Native Trees of the Southeast is a practical, compact field guide for the identification of the more than 225 trees native to the region, from the Carolinas and eastern Tennessee south through Georgia into northern Florida and west through Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas into eastern Texas. For confident identification, nearly 600 photographs, close to 500 of them in color, illustrate leaves, flowers and fruits or cones, bark, and twigs with buds. Full descriptions are accompanied by keys for plants in both summer and winter condition, as well as over 200 range maps. Crucial differences between plants that may be mistaken for each other are discussed.

What Customers Say About Native Trees of the Southeast:

A must have for your Horticulture Library. This book is a great resource. Informative, and easy to use.

One of the most helpful sections under each species is the "Distinguishing Characteristics" section which not only helps to identify the differences between one species and other similar ones, but also can help point you to other species to look at if you are at the wrong species. This book does an excellent job at providing a detailed approach to identifying trees. Finally, I really appreciated that the book educates you about the various features and terms in tree identication, raising one's tree IQ if you will. The Naturalized Trees of the Southeast section is very helpful as well, though it would have been nice to have detailed information (including pictures) in this section as exists elsewhere. For the beginner, it may take a while to find the tree families on a wholly unknown tree, but the information is there. The flower, fruit, bark, and leaf pictures are excellent as are the very helpful coverage maps.

It covers the ArkLaTex area where I live as well as the Southeast. Has good descriptions and lots of good information. I have several tree guides and this one is well worth the price. Good book for southern trees. Photos are small but good quality.

There is also a glossary and illustrated descriptions of ID terms that would make this an easy key for beginners too. One of my favorite features of the book is the "Distinguishing Characteristics" passage for each species; for some reason, some other keys I've used neglect to mention some very obvious identifying traits that are included here. This is an excellent guide- The dichotomous keys rely on traits observable in the field, and are separated into summer and winter keys. Each species entry includes descriptions of relevant leaf, twig, bark, flower, and fruit traits, with color photos (with the text, not in a separate section) and distribution maps.

The book is comprehensive,all I need to be well educated,inspired,and have reference on hand with great quality pictures.
