Description: Examines all the native and naturalized trees of the western United States and Canada as far east as the Great Plains, illustrates important visual details with range maps that provide a thumbnail view of distribution for each native species, gives scientific and common names, taxonomy, information on the most recently naturalized species, and also contains a key to leaves, an introduction to tree identification, forest ecology, and plant classification and structure.
Review Quotes: "Covering more species (630 in the West, 825 in the East) than any comparable field guides, Trees of Western North America and Trees of Eastern North America are the most comprehensive, best illustrated, and easiest-to-use books of their kind. The book features thousands of meticulous color paintings by David More and easy-to-read descriptions present details of size, shape, growth habit, bark, leaves, flowers, fruit, habitat, and range. With an unmatched combination of breadth and depth, these are essential guides for every tree lover."---James A. Baggett, Better Homes and Gardens
