Tree Finder

A Manual for the Identification of Trees by Their Leaves
by May Theilgaard Watts

This guide to identifying native (and some widely introduced) trees of the United States and Canada east of the Rocky Mountains is organized as a dichotomous key that leads the user through a series of simple questions about the shape or appearance of the leaves of a tree. The Manual includes 161 species and is clearly illustrated with line drawings. Its small size makes it a perfect companion to take in your pocket or pack on your next hike. Certainly, as a first guide, especially for children, the Tree Finder is marvelously accessible. It is useful both for tree identification and also as an introduction to the botanist's "dichotomous key" with the" if…then" format of more comprehensive works.
