A Field Guide for the Metropolitan Area

by Edward S. Barnard

 

If you're not a tree lover now, this pocket-sized gem—dedicated to the idea that every species of tree has a story and every individual tree has a history—will make you one. Produced in consultation with New York City's Parks and Recreation Department and the New York Tree Trust, this book is a comprehensive reference to New York City's trees, complete with photographs, tree silhouettes, leaf and fruit shapes, and charming and informative explanatory texts. Most of the trees you'll recognize if you come to the graceful grounds of The New York Botanical Garden from time to time, since they were photographed right here!
