Customer Ratings:

• Pocket reference book. A very compact reference book which makes it handy when not carrying a backpack or similar. Could do with a leaf shape recognition guide to quickly narrow down a search
• Guide to Trees. This book is great for research on trees found withiin the UK.It is compact yet the information provided within is detailed.
  An excellent guide for those starting a career within the Horticultural or Environmental World.
• Collins Gem Trees. This Collins Gem guide to Trees is simply brilliant. In a simple pocket sized format you get comprehensive information about a wide variety of trees that is easy to reference whilst at home or out and about. On each double page spread you get one page of information including Latin names, bark, leaves, flowers, fruit and related species and on the facing page you get a variety of colour illustrations of the various parts of the tree so you an distinguish one tree from another with ease. This also has a wonderful introduction with information about trees in general. This is an attractive and extremely useable book and is well worth a look if you like country walks and would like to identify more trees as you go.
• A good little book, but with it problems, read below!. this book is exactly what you would expect from a little Collin s gem, it has good material through out, and a pretty good selection of the most common trees....but, i would have preferred to see real photographs rather than artists drawings, which, sometimes are not as good a reference as an image of the real thing. Furthermore i would have liked to see bigger images of the type of bark from each tree since half the year the trees have no leaves, and the bark, leafless shape, and habitat is all you have to go on.
  this is however a good introduction read for summer time tree hunting, wouldn t recommend it for winter though. if you are up for a better book i recommend:-
