This guide covers over 300 of the most commonly seen tree species in Europe.
At the beginning of the book is a short introduction which focuses on the process of identification in the field.
The trees are then divided into four easily recognized groups: Conifers with Needles, Conifers with Scales, Broadleaved Simple, Broadleaved Compound.
Within each group, the trees are arranged by family and by genus so that similar looking species appear together for ease of comparison.
