Pros

Cons

May and Tom Watts' Winter Tree Finder is one of the best pocket-sized tree manuals available for deciduous winter tree identification east of Rocky Mountains. Sixty-two pages are crammed full of tips and profusely illustrated with twigs and fruit that help in identifying over 200 of North America's most common native trees. The manual provides the tree's habitat, the shape of a mature tree and "people associated" places the tree can be found. A natural range distribution map is included with each tree. Each twig and fruit illustration is coupled with exact descriptions of primary identifying features. The key is dichotomous. You select the best of two questions until identification. Many times you can skip the key if you review the twig and fruit illustrations and have some knowledge of individual tree species.
