Which Native Tree?

Description

One of New Zealand's best-selling identification guides. Identify New Zealand native trees by their leaves. Find a typical leaf from a common native tree and use Andrew Crowe's unique method to accurately identify the tree itself. The book contains colour photographs of leaves, illustrations that show tree shape and height, tree distribution graphics and checklists to match leaves, flowers, fruit and trunk. Discover the known uses of each tree, from food and medicine to dyes and timber, and how to grow each tree in your own garden. 'Excellent value for schools, trampers, bush walkers and anyone that has an interest in our native flora. So simple to use, all you need is a leaf, a ruler and this book to discern any native tree.' Evening Post, mid June 1999. 'This sturdily bound little book is the best thing a novice can take into the woods... If you can't identify the tree using this excellent guide, you may have had too much rimu beer - in which case, you can give over to the delights of the text. It is entertaining, informative, eccentric and easily the most engaging guide to trees in print.' PSA Journal, September 1997.
