A regional field guide to North Texas trees

Covering the Blackland Prairies, Cross Timbers, and the Rolling and High Plains, this guide catalogues native and naturalized trees across North Texas. It also documents varieties introduced to the Dallas–Fort Worth area during the twentieth century, placing cultivated and established species alongside the region’s native flora. Entries provide full tree descriptions, with illustrations accompanying nearly all of them, and the organization is designed for identification in the field. Historical notes and local lore add context to the botanical material, making the volume useful not only for naming a tree but also for situating it within the region’s landscape history.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • North Texas residents seeking help identifying trees outdoors
  • Naturalists and gardeners interested in native, naturalized, and introduced regional trees
  • Readers interested in the botanical history of the Dallas–Fort Worth area

Book overview

This comprehensive and compact volume is a field guide to all the native and naturalized trees of the north Texas zone, including the Blackland Prairies, the Cross Timbers region, and both the Rolling and High Plains. Here too is detailed information on the many varieties of trees introduced into the Dallas-Fort Worth region over the twentieth century.

Drawn from Robert A. Vines' monumental Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines of the Southwest (University of Texas Press, 1960), the field guide contains full descriptions of every tree in the area. Its convenient organization makes Trees of North Texas ideal to take into the field for on-the-spot identification, and virtually every description is accompanied by a finely executed illustration. Fascinating bits of history and lore enliven the descriptions throughout.
