Native Trees Of The Midwest: Identification, Wildlife Value, And Landscaping Use

Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

Native Trees of the Midwest is a definitive guide to identifying trees in Indiana and surrounding states, written by three leading forestry experts. Descriptive text explains how to identify every species in any season, and color photographs show all important characteristics. Not only does the book allow the user to identify trees and learn of their ecological and distributional attributes, but it also presents an evaluation of each species relative to its potential ornamental value for those interested in landscaping. Since tree species have diverse values to wildlife, an evaluation of wildlife uses is presented with a degree of detail available nowhere else. This second edition contains a chapter on introduced species that have become naturalized and invasive throughout the region. All accounts have been reviewed and modifications made when necessary to reflect changes in taxonomy, status, or wildlife uses. Keys have been modified to incorporate introduced species.

This book is the best book I have used so far for finding information on trees. Some of its great features include quick IDs of trees, range maps, and how to tell the difference between similar trees.

I have many kinds of trees on my property and this book will help me identify the different types of Maple that I can use to make syrup.

Several photos and the "Quick ID" for each species makes me feel more confident about my identifications. The dichotomous key at the back is also helpful.
