ShareMore than 300 species of trees are found in the United States and Canada west of the Rocky Mountains, some introduced from other continents but many native to the region.

This handsome guidebook covers them all, with photographs that enable identification by easily discernible characteristics: by, for example, the shape of the leaf or needle, by the fruit, or by the flower or cone.
The photographs are linked to texts that describe a tree's physical characteristics, habitat, and range.
Some of the trees covered in this volume are exceedingly rare, such as the Monterey pine; others are locally abundant but limited in range, such as the Joshua tree; still others, such as the quaking aspen, are widespread.
This guidebook is an essential addition to any western outdoor enthusiast's collection.
