A Field Guide to trees and shrubs: NE and North-central US (Peterson Filed Guides)
This book would be a lot better if it had more pictures. It's hard to compare a real specimen to a written paragraph.
Good reference to have in on hand
This is a good basic book to have on hand for identification. I like how it covers shrubs and some vines in addition to trees. I use this book often as a reference, along with other similar guides I have. I always prefer to use more than one reference for IDs to make sure I have the correct plant.
Learn to love trees! Or learn about the trees you love.
This is an wonderful guide to trees and one of the few that also includes shrubs. The format of keys and plates is very clear and an excellent introduction to the use of taxonomic keys.
