AlbakiReads Editorial

A visual field guide to the trees woven into New York’s streets, parks, and neighborhoods.

Edward Barnard’s guide approaches the metropolitan landscape through its trees, pairing identification tools with the local histories attached to notable specimens. Its four-part organization moves from mapped suggestions for tree-focused outings to a directory of distinctive older trees, then to an identification section arranged by leaf shape and size. Photographs, silhouettes, drawings, and leaf and fruit details support close observation in the field, while the final resources section points toward further investigation. The book frames urban trees not as background scenery but as individual landmarks with botanical features and city stories.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • New York City and metropolitan-area walkers interested in noticing local trees
  • Beginning tree identifiers who value visual reference tools
  • Urban nature enthusiasts seeking maps and notable-tree destinations

Book overview

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 the City's Parks and Recreation department and the New York Tree Trust, this book is a reference to the stories of New York City's trees, complete with photographs, tree silhouettes, leaf and fruit morphologies, and charming and informative explanatory texts. It is divided into four sections: "The Best Places to See Trees," full of insider's tips and helpful maps; "New York City's Great Trees," a directory of the oldest, strangest, most beautiful trees; "The Tree Guide," arranged for ease of identification by leaf shape and size; and, finally, "Sources and Resources" for future investigation.

With over 700 beautiful color photographs, drawings, and detailed maps, this is the ultimate field guide to the trees of the Big Apple and the metropolitan region.
