 | Ok book May 22, 2010 |
| Not for casual use. Designed for academics. Don't be fooled by the color photos and new design of the cover. It is old. Although trees don't change, its age shows in the printing - two colors often don't line up, variable darkness of text etc. A few things need updating. You have to have access to twigs and bud scars. These are helpful in winter without leaves, but not very helpful for tall trees. For summer, all you need is bark, leaves and flowers and fruit, but it has very little on bark - "rough" or "smooth" only go so far. I don't know if a good comprehensive field guide to trees with pictures exist, but I wish I would have looked around a bit more. | | |  | Christmas Gift Jan 21, 2010 |
| This was a gift for my daughter, per her request. It is an excellent guide for the person who wants general knowledge or the botony student!! | | | | Takes some getting used to Oct 31, 2009 |
| Granted, I'm not a botany person, more of a bird person, so I'm not used to using keys. This guide takes some getting used to, since the trees and shrubs are split up into multiple sections. You need to find the right one before you start to use the key. Then the key points you to a plate where hopefully you find you've correctly identified what you were interested in. There are also appendices in the back for winter keys and others. There are some tree silhouettes at the beginning of the guide but otherwise the plates only show leaves, twigs and fruit or flowers if present. I have succeeded in using it on a couple of hikes but it definitely takes some patience if you're plant challenged like I am. | | |  | Good resource Sep 15, 2009 |
| This is a great guide covering many species. Information is clear and concise. A bit of background on some botanical definitions is probably best. You may have to stumble through some terminology while getting the hang of it. | | |  | A Field Guide to trees and shrubs: NE and North-central US (Peterson Filed Guides) Jun 5, 2008 |
| This book would be a lot better if it had more pictures. It's hard to compare a real specimen to a written paragraph. | | | Write your own review about A Field Guide to Trees and Shrubs: Northeastern and north-central United States and southeastern and south-central Canada (Peterson Field Guide)
