This is a true success, the authors have compiled a user-friendly visual guide to the identification of trees common to the Southern African landscape. Filled with interesting and concise information on 300 tree species, it's beautifully illustrated with the more than 900 excellent full-colour photographs showing the growth form, flowers, fruit and bark of each. It's a compact field guide that highlights identification characteristics, distribution, habitat preference, and uses by man. 
Furthermore, a series of icons gives the reader specific info on the different species at a mere glance. The attractive layout, sturdy cover an great photographs makes this book a real pleasure to use. (Now also available in Afrikaans)
