Philadelphia Trees is a pocket-sized resource for identifying the
native trees, commonly encountered exotics, and popular ornamentals
of the Philadelphia metropolitan area and adjacent counties in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Each of the 118
tree-identification entries features a description of a tree
species or several related species; a list of places to see
specimens; individual photos of leaves, bark, fruits, and seeds;
striking portrait photos; and winter-silhouette drawings. The guide
also contains a section on more than fifty of the best parks,
botanical gardens, and preserves for viewing trees in and around
Philadelphia. Included in this section are ten maps identifying
specific trees in such places as Fairmount Park, one of the
world’s largest urban parks, and the Morris Arboretum, the
official arboretum of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A third
section, “Great Trees of Philadelphia,” highlights fifty
special, historic, and record-breaking trees. Using this field
guide, nature lovers will be able to identify and locate the
fantastic trees that this unique region, sometimes called “the
cradle of American horticulture,” has to offer.
