Pacific Coast Trees, Second Edition: With Lists Of Trees Recommended For Various Uses On The Pacific Coast, By H. W. Shepherd. This description may be from another edition of this product.
I was introduced to this book by my professor of plant taxonomy. While learning how to use plant keys, this book became an important source of plant characteristics with well drawn specimens. The dictotomus keys are clear and concise. The reward for finding the species was a clear diagram or good picture for confirmation. I bring it on every hiking trip to any state on the western side of the Rockies.
A Darn Good Book....very Useful.

I am a writer and a professional horticulturist and I need good books. This is one of them. The drawings are clear, the writing is good, the information is helpful. I keep going back to this book over and over and always find something to use. For anyone exploring the Pacific Coast who appreciates trees, check this one out.
