Tree book

[palerider]

Hi All.

I don't really know anything about trees so i'm looking for a good book for when i'm out and about on tree identification. Ive been looking at this one British Trees: A photographic guide to every common species, but i don't know if its any good or not......


http://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Trees-photographic-species-Complete/dp/0007236859/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top


anyway if anyone has any recommendations I'd love to hear from yous :-))

cheers Craig

I bought the Collin's Gem book of trees. As a starter I like it - especially its size.

Hope this helps,

that was the book i had initially looked at but i read some reviews saying it was hard to read because of its size, i suppose for £4 you cant go wrong :-))

I've got 4 Collins little gems including "food for free" which in my humble opinion is a must have for anyone remotely interested in the out doors.
Not got the tree one though.

I had to do tree ID as part of my HND, the colins tree gude is excellent! Loads of good photos but it is a little limited to well known trees. I find it works best if you have at least two ID books for any kind of identification, this is one of the best books http://www.amazon.co.uk/Collins-Tree-Guide-Owen-Johnson/dp/0007207719/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1364664881&sr=1-1 but if you want the best book money can buy get this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cassells-Trees-Britain-Northern-Europe/dp/0304361925/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=35MPGMCTMJ2YS&coliid=I1B2KRBRLXRZCI This is the book the top tree guys use, I have seen a copy but have not bought it yet. Basically the Black collins book is a scaled down version and is more than enough for you use.

I went to the library and took out quite a few, glad i did now, because i was able to take a bit from each book, and build up information which i found both informative and useful which i find no one book seems to have.

I've studied trees in the northeastern US for a fair number of years now, and I can readily identify nearly all native species in the area throughout the seasons. All bets are off when it comes to certain hybrids and introduced trees :ashamed:.
