"A volume for a lifetime" is how The New Yorker described the first of Donald Culross Peatie's two books about American trees published in the 1950s. In this one-volume edition, modern readers are introduced to one of the best nature writers of the last century. As we read Peattie's eloquent and entertaining accounts of American trees, we catch glimpses of our country's history and past daily life that no textbook could ever illuminate so vividly. Here you'll learn about everything from how a species was discovered to the part it played in our country’s history. Pioneers often stabled an animal in the hollow heart of an old sycamore, and the whole family might live there until they could build a log cabin. The tuliptree, the tallest native hardwood, is easier to work than most softwood trees; Daniel Boone carved a sixty-foot canoe from one tree to carry his family from Kentucky into Spanish territory. In the days before the Revolution, the British and the colonists waged an undeclared war over New England's white pines, which made the best tall masts for fighting ships. It's fascinating to learn about the commercial uses of various woods -- for paper, fine furniture, fence posts, matchsticks, house framing, airplane wings, and dozens of other preplastic uses. But we cannot read this book without the occasional lump in our throats. The American elm was still alive when Peattie wrote, but as we read his account today we can see what caused its demise. Audubon's portrait of a pair of loving passenger pigeons in an American beech is considered by many to be his greatest painting. It certainly touched the poet in Donald Culross Peattie as he depicted the extinction of the passenger pigeon when the beech forest was destroyed. A Natural History of North American Trees gives us a picture of life in America from its earliest days to the middle of the last century. The information is always interesting, though often heartbreaking. While Peattie looks for the better side of man's nature, he reports sorrowfully on the greed and waste that have doomed so much of America's virgin forest.

This lavishly illustrated book provides a highly informative and detailed guide to the trees of North America. Each highly detailed, full color entry shows all aspects of a particular kind of tree to make identification as easy and accurate as possible. These include overall appearance of the tree through the changing seasons, leaf shape, male and female flowers, and seed forms, and also cover variations within the species. A special feature of this book is the careful attention to bole and crown appearance – often a more effective method of identification than by outline alone. The artwork is based on living specimens, and numerous subspecies are shown, as well as cultivars and clones. Packed with both color illustrations and detailed black and white line drawings, this book includes a fascinating practical section on planting and conservation. Written by the outstanding dendrologist Alan Mitchell and illustrated by tree artist David More, this book is an authoritative reference work and a tribute to the rich variety of trees found in North America.

This book represents updated and expanded information from an earlier book by the same author titled "Native Trees for North American Landscapes." It described the ecology of forests and interactions between trees and humans. Every tree in eastern and central North America, from Canada down to the subtropics, is included either as a featured species or a similar species. Topics covered for each tree include a general description, foliage, flowers, fruits, seasonal attributes, native and adaptive range, culture, problems, cultivars, similar and related species, and general comments. Appendices cover tree selection for planting, hardiness zones, natural heritage organizations and agencies, a web directory, a technical glossary, and recommended resources for further information.
