A regional visual guide to identifying woody plants

Covering the northeastern and north-central United States and adjoining parts of Canada, this field guide catalogs wild trees, shrubs, and woody vines across a broad regional range. Its 646 species accounts organize identification around observable traits: leaf shape and arrangement, plant height, bark texture, flower color and season, and fruit. Drawings extend the practical reference approach with visual details of leaves, buds, flowers, and overall tree forms. The geographic boundaries—from Newfoundland south to North Carolina and Tennessee, and west to the Dakotas and Kansas—make the book especially specific about the flora it addresses.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Outdoor observers identifying woody plants in eastern and central North America
  • Naturalists who prefer species entries built around visible field marks
  • Gardeners and hikers seeking a regional tree and shrub reference
