Customer Reviews:
• The One 31 July, 2002
No mere Peterson field guide, this scholarly work is a concise encyclopedia of all the trees native to the northeastern United States, with descriptions that can truly be used to tell them apart (a unique feat). Belongs in the backpack of any hiker who wants to learn trees. Fits in a half-gallon Ziploc. Remember you need a magnifying glass and a sharp knife to use the book properly.

• A Field Guide To Trees And Shrubs: Ne And North-central Us (peterson Filed Guides) 05 June, 2008
This book would be a lot better if it had more pictures. It's hard to compare a real specimen to a written paragraph.

• Best For Field Work 17 March, 2002
As a wetland delineator in PA, this book proves invaluable for field identification of trees, shrubs, and vines. Especially useful is are the keys for identification of these plants in winter when leaves and fruiting bodies are non-existant. I have several other tree books for reference, but they rarely are worth carting along in the field now that I have this book. I highly recommend it.

• Good Reference To Have In On Hand 10 December, 2007
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.
