Tree-rific

I carry this book with me when I am out stalking the vegetation of North Florida. Since I rarely do this in winter, I find its descriptions and pictures quite helpful in sorting out the deciduous trees. It helps if you have a basic knowledge of tree forms. Unfortunately more and more of a wide variety of ecologic niches are being over-taken by invasive non-native plants. The taller of these are a nuisance to the fun of the hunt and the opportunity for satisfying photographs. Matt Cohen
