Trees: An Illustrated Field Guide is a compact, beautifully illustrated field guide to 40 of North Americas most common and most charismatic trees, along with 10 best-of-the-best trees from around the world. The UK's native silver birch, Betula pendula is a popular tree for small gardens, with a light canopy, tactile peeling white bark and yellow leaves in autumn.

Becky is absolutely amazing at what she does, fantastic correspondence the whole way through, shipped exactly when specified. With compelling, abridged selections from the original book and stunning, large-format photographs of trees from around the world, this gorgeous volume distills the essence of Wohlleben’s message to show trees in all their glory and diversity. Some trees, such as figs and mulberries, create a denser shade and are more suited to hot courtyard spaces, where they will provide welcome respite from strong sun. Every European species is covered within its 800+ pages as well as many introduced species from all over the world.

Pride of place goes to the reams of paintings by David More, over a decade of work detailing leaves, branches, fruit and above all, stunning paintings of overall trees . Beautiful images provide the perfect complement to Wohlleben's words, with striking close-ups of bark and seeds, panoramas of vast expanses of green, and a unique look at what is believed to be the oldest tree on the planet. Trees can also be trained as espaliers against a fence or to screen a space – fruit trees are often grown this way.
