DESCRIPTION:
Cactus Frank said It Really Works!. Ever wonder what kind of tree you're looking at? If you're in Texas, you can't miss with this book.The book includes a map of soil types (with its natural diversity, Texas could be a country in itself!) and follows it with general drawings of leaves. Compare the leaf you see to the drawings in the book and you're sent to a tree family. From there you simply find the tree from more detailed drawings and area maps. It's easy! I am now considered a tree guru.What else? Look through the book and find whi. leaf collection Lisa Pruitt I am a biology teacher and use this book in my classroom. My students have to do a leaf collection. The students have found this book useful for identifing the leaves. The good part of this book is that it cover a lot of trees.. "Indispensable" according to Amazon Customer. If you are interested in trees and live in Texas, this is the ONE book you must have. So often you have to buy a Western U.S. book for West Texas and an Eastern U.S. book for East Texas - and you still don't have all the trees in the Rio Grande Valley that are primarily Mexican.The book is clear and easy to use. Even better, it gives interesting tidbits about each tree's range and habits in Texas, including the location of the largest known example in the state.Highly recommended!
