Collins Complete Guide to British Trees: A Photographic Guide to every common species

Product Information

Covering all species commonly found outside major arboretums, a combination of truly stunning illustrations and easy-to-read text allow for fast and accurate identification. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. There is no key at the begining so it makes it difficult to accuratly identify the tree your looking at, but the pictures and descriptions and measurments are very accurate, providing you can recognise the family the tree is from.

The build is excellent, the pages are glossy, the photography is top quality and it simply yells professionalism. An excellent guide to trees and shrubs of Britain - included native and naturalised species, plus a wide selection of ornamental trees and their cultivars.

Each species is covered in detail with information on how to identify, whether from a leaf, twig, bark or whole tree, plus extra information on where the tree grows (including a map), how high they grow, what uses it is put to, and history. Over 1500 trees of Britain and Northern Europe described, with pictures of the whole tree, flowers, leaves and twigs. Excellent book - well written - good quality paper - good quality photos and lots of them- the writing is not so small and I can read perfectly - one of the best tree reference books I have seen so far.
