British Trees and Shrubs Field Guide / Old Book / Antique Book / Illustrated Guide / Floristry / Vintage Book

The primary aim of this book is to enable anyone to easily identify trees and shrubs growing in the wild in Britain. It also serves as an introductory guide to rarer, ornamental varieties found in parks and gardens. Of the more than 1,500 tree species and numerous shrubs growing in Britain, many are rare and found only in botanical gardens and conservatories. Truly native trees and shrubs found in the British wild represent a small fraction of the total. The book presents multiple methods for identifying trees and shrubs, such as by their bark, buds, flowers, leaves, overall form, and appearance. Trees are grouped by the shape of their leaves or needles, allowing you to first determine its broad category and then turn to the relevant page for the description and illustration of the specific tree or shrub.
