An essential guide for every type of tree found in the British Isles except for coppices. This handy guide covers 360 species of trees depicted in detail with information on their identification, whether by leaf, branch, bark, or the whole tree. It also includes information on where the tree grows (including a map), how tall it grows, what it is used for, and its unique history.

Each species is also fully illustrated with photographs of every useful feature – bark, leaf, seed, flower, branch, and the whole tree.

Sample identification section: Silver Birch (Betula pendula) height up to 26m. A slender, rapidly growing deciduous tree with a narrow, conical waft when young, growing vigorously. Older trees develop a shriveled habit, especially if growing in open, isolated areas.
