Fall Color Finder - A Manual for the Identification of Trees in Autumn Color

Saturday September 6, 2008
C. Ritchie Bell and Anne H. Lindsey's Fall Color Finder is the best pocket-sized fall leaf identification manual available for common trees east of Rocky Mountains. Sixty-four illustrated pages are crammed full of tips that help in identifying 150 of North America's most common native trees in autumn.

This Autumn leaf identification manual provides a beautiful color leaf photo, the tree's range, the leaf size, silhouette and a key that helps you narrow the selections to a unique tree species. The key is dichotomous. You select the best of two questions until identification. Many times you can skip the key if you review the leaf illustrations and have some knowledge of individual tree species.
