The Arbor Day Foundation has a book designed to help people identify trees in a simple, step-by-step process. The book is titled "What Tree Is That?" and is available for a nominal donation to the nonprofit tree-planting organization.
"What Tree Is That?" features hand-drawn, full-color botanical illustrations highlighting the distinctive characteristics of many tree species found throughout the Eastern and Central regions of the United States. The illustrations depict natural colors, shapes and textures, and the guide explains what to look for in the shape and arrangement of leaves, differences in leafstalks and specific characteristics of fruits, flowers, buds and bark. The guide is suitable for anyone, from non-professional nature enthusiasts to professional arborists.
