Its beautiful illustrations are in precise detail to depict natural colors, shapes, textures, so users can make a positive species identification in just a few easy steps.

The Arbor Day Foundation now offers the guidebook to help people identify trees in Ohio and throughout the Eastern and Central United States. What Tree Is That? uses a unique step-by-step approach, explaining what to look for to determine the species of a specific tree - the shape of the leaves, the differences in the leaf stems and twig structures, the fruits and flowers, the details of buds and bark, etc.

"Helping people enjoy and appreciate trees is central to the educational mission of the Arbor Day Foundation, and our improved pocket field guide will help people know their trees," said John Rosenow, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. "We wanted to give people a resource to help identify trees so they will be able to better appreciate them."
