About this deal

The introduction contains illustrations of the main leaves, buds, and firs you are likely to find, which also provide the starting point for identification by leading you to a 'key' species. It opened up the whole subject for me and I am now happily identifying and learning about my local trees and shrubs with great confidence. Although not as comprehensive as the other Collins tree guide, it's a handier size and I find it easier to ID from photographs than from drawings, so the two books go well together. The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal.

To access your ebook(s) after purchasing, you can download the free Glose app or read instantly on your browser by logging into Glose. This is a great book for identifying and learning about trees commonly found in Britain (native and non-native), and has an interesting section on ecology, tree biology, and uses of wood. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.I have purchaed several books but they have all left me pretty much where I started - dazed and confused. It might not be the most informative, in-depth or well-organised tree identification guide out there, but I find it pretty good. Pf particular use were "Basic Tree Biology", "Identifying Trees", "The Ecology of Trees and Woodland", "Winter Twig", "Comparing leaves" and "Comparing bark".

Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab . Sample identification section:Silver Birch Betula pendula (Betulaceae) height to 26mA slender, fast-growing deciduous tree with a narrow, tapering crown when young and growing vigorously. I maintain a blog that charts the weekly progress of the small woodland and ecological park next to my home. She says its a lovely book, which she will treasure, its just at the right level, and she'll be using it as a source of reference for many years. The build is excellent, the pages are glossy, the photography is top quality and it simply yells professionalism.

Paul Sterry is author of Complete British Wildlife, which has sold over half a million copies, as well as numerous other titles in the successful Collins Complete Photoguide series, including Complete British Birds and Complete British Wild Flowers.
