Trees of Canada

John Laird Farrar

This is the most complete book ever published on the trees of Canada and the northern United States. It describes over 300 native and introduced species.

Designed for amateur naturalists, professional foresters, and landscape architects alike, this guide contains:

• 580 color photos and 1,600 drawings;

• 136 maps illustrating the distribution area of species in Canada and the northern United States, as far south as Pennsylvania and northern California;

• a new identification method in which all trees are divided into 12 groups based on leaf shape and arrangement along the branches;

• keys for identifying species in summer and winter.


This completely new edition is based on the very popular book Native Trees of Canada, which has been the essential identification guide for decades.
