asking for pocket guide to trees in the SE

[No.15]

Can anyone recommend a good guide to identify trees in the SE? Specifically east TN. I am looking for a guide I can take with me in to woods, not an online resource.

I have so many different trees here and I would like to know what they are. Something that is portable and detailed would be great. I know a lot of them are different types of oak, but there are at least 10 types of trees I can distinguish and probably more.

Thanks

I recently bought some reference books off eBay, but they're not pocket size.
While I was shopping, I did see some though.
You can also purchase from the ISA website

Wow I was going to buy a book there but shipping was more than the book cost.

Thanks for the resource anyway

Peterson's Field Guides - Eastern Trees, by Petrides. It's a bit heavier than I'd want in my pant pocket, but it will fit.
Woody Plants in Winter, by Core and Ammons, is great after the leaves fall. Not sure if its still in print, but you might find an old used copy. Its geared toward the northeast US, but will cover most of what you have in TN.

A small hand lens will come in very handy for getting a close look at buds.

Alot of state parks carry reference guide books ,and pamphlets for free.

I hardly carry my phone at all.
