Product Description
The classic key to identifying native trees of the Pacific Coast, updated to reflect changes in the names of trees since publication of the first edition. Identifies native trees, and some widely introduced or naturalized species, of the Pacific Coast region, from British Columbia to Baja California. In this edition, Latin names of trees that grow in California conform to the University of California's 1993 Jepson Manual, and more recent name changes. From the Finders series of pocket guides to native plants and animals of the U.S. and Canada; like all plant guides in the series, this book uses a dichotomous key format for accurate identification.

a lot of knowledge in your pocket October 27, 2008
I have the original copy that I bought in 1980. It was in such bad shape that I just reordered it. I have used this book and loved this book for years because it contains a great deal of information in a tiny package. the illustrations are excellent and the maps are great. For the non-technician the key is easy to follow and having graduated with a degree in botany, I still prefer its common sense approach better than others. The only criticism I have is that it is sometimes difficult to match the map with the illustration with the name on some of the pages.
 Good for college science studies October 11, 2008
I had to identify several trees in support of a science project. This book was very easy to use and gave me the information I needed to make appropriate ID's. Formatted simple. Good pictures.
The best book for learning what trees are around you June 24, 2008
Very logical and easy to use, compact, packed full of useful information. Includes all common native trees and some shrubs and naturalized trees. I have used the book on backpacking trips and day hikes throughout California, in Washington, and Alaska. With this book, I went from knowing nearly no trees to knowing many or most of them. Bring the book with you any time you are out in nature.
Other great books in the finder series include the Desert Tree Finder and Pacific Intertidal Life. I have found the wildflower finders more difficult to use. This tree book is probably the one you will use most.

Easy to use field guide April 9, 2008

This is a useful pocket size field guide, particularly for beginners. We use them in introductory biology courses for field work and the students find them easy to understand with little to no knowledge of how an ID guide works.
