Tree identification

[Garfield]

Just starting out in the tree business. Any suggestions on a particular book to identify trees. Thanks for your help.

the tree identification book
and also look for books for your state or area. depending on where you live, you should start out with local trees first. try your local coop.

The dir books are great. Also the national audobon soiety books are top notch. They have a brown cover.

Google, Virginia Tech Dendrology, and one of the best sites on the net will pop up.

IMHO every Arborist need to have a copy of the "Manual of Woody Landscape Plants" by Dirr. For the novices there is one with color pictures.

I use Peterson Feild guides /Eastern Trees. You can pick it up at most book stores.
