 Great book! June 2, 2008
I love this book because it is small and very easy to use. The book has the picture of the leaf, bark, flowers and it's fruit. Very good book if you live in Ohio.
Living With Ohio Trees June 28, 2007
We purchased a 22 acre plot and are building a home. We have this awesome woods with so many trees that I am unfamiliar with so bought a copy of Trees Of Ohio Field Guide. I love the book it has pictures of the trees, explains about each tree, bark texture and color, leaf type and color, size of the tree, where it grows and so much more. It is the most complete and precise guide to tree watching I have ever seen. I feel I can walk through my woods and call the trees by their first names. Great book for a beginner in tree watching!

 Good book overall January 4, 2007
I wanted a book to help me identify the trees on my property as I was never in the Boy Scouts where you learn all that stuff. It was a pretty good read, although I got it for Christmas and there were no leaves on the trees. I was hoping that it would have better pictures of the bark to help in identifying species when no leaves are on. The bark pictures offered are pretty small and non-representative. The leaf pictures, however, are preety good and I'm sure it will be of use during the summer.
Descent field ID and it fits in your back pocket! December 9, 2006

I have almost broke the entire spine from use, and this is definitely one of the best small pocket field ID guides I've ever had for Ohio flora. While there are definitely problems with it (lack of details, diversity of species) it is one I would recommend any serious outdoor person check out. I always keep it in my hiking pack along with the Woods Plants and Shrubs of SE Ohio and Lucy Braun's Ohio plant book.
Whenever I do timber sale monitoring or nature studies it is a helpful guide and will withstand some pretty heavy use/wear/tear and still work. The glossy images are a real treat (but not enviro friendly :( Compared to crummy line drawings from 1950-70 in a lot of outdoor books, this is a nice change. Also, it is a good non-specialist book for general outdoor enthusiasts. You don't need a PhD in plant ecology or forestry to get useful uinfo fast. It also has an interesting page categorization scheme by tree shape.
Great pictures, could use more July 9, 2006

A very good pictoral discription of native Ohio trees. Many of the trees have inset pictures of the bark, flowers, and fruit of the trees. Not all of them do - otherwise the book would have rated 5 stars. Arrangement of the entries is by leaf type and size which is very helpful.
