About this ebook
The ideal portable companion, the world-renowned Collins Gem series returns with a fresh new look and updated material.
This is the perfect pocket guide for nature enthusiasts keen to identify the most commonly seen trees, whether they are out on the town or strolling through the countryside.
Authoritative text, beautiful photographs and detailed illustrations show not only the overall shape of the tree but also details of leaf shape, flowers, fruits and bark.
Features both deciduous and evergreen species, with information on the origin of each species, its height, preferred habitat and growing conditions. Illustrations of cones, catkins, nuts and fruits allow you to distinguish between similar species at a glance.
This new edition builds on the strengths of the best-selling, unrivalled original, now expanded to include over 220 trees and shrubs that are native to or flourish in Britain and northern Europe.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The usefulness of any field guide has to do with how easily the information can be accessed. Obviously any guide that fits in the palm of the hand is advantageous in the fact that you are more likely to have it with you when you feel the need to call upon it for information; whereas a possibly more concise hardback volume may sit on your bookshelf at home never leaving the house?In actual fact this densely packed little guide, containing almost 200 trees and tall shrubs, is very well laid out and cram-packed with full colour illustrations that make identification quick and simple. It even spares a few lines to describe some common facts concerning distribution and origins of each specimem.At just over one hundred grams in weight you may find it a worthwhile companion for bringing with you on country walks or even trips to the park without feeling overly weighed down.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The perfect pocket-companion to tree identification. We took it with us to Newstead Abbey in Nottingham (Byron's ancestral home) and it really helped us to identify the trees.
