Beginning with helpful introductory material and an illustrated identification key, the book proceeds to non-technical tree-by-tree descriptions of each species' origins, history, natural range and distribution, growth and management requirements, and uses. The beautiful color photographs and illustrations that supplement the text range from leaves and shoots to whole trees, flowers, and fruits. A glossary of technical terms is included for readers approaching the subject for the first time. Forest and Woodland Trees in Britain will delight all readers with an interest in natural history, forestry, arboriculture, landscape design, and environmental studies. ER -
