Book: Trees of Pennsylvania

Spring Fever is rampant! Having posted a book on birds of the Delaware Valley two days ago, we are now enjoying Trees of Pennsylvania by botanists at the Morris Arboretum , the official arboretum of Pennsylvania. They briefly discuss the history of Pennsylvania forests, provide a clear and concise explanation of what a tree is, and have an exhaustive key to identification. The individual descriptions of our native trees include photos, drawings, and a map locating the species in the commonwealth. Where was this book when I was collecting leaves for science class at Phillip Ginder? Well, it's here now to accompany walks in Tyler Arborteum!
