The Firefly Encyclopedia of Trees is an authoritative reference work of a fascinating introduction to the variety and beauty of trees. Beautifully illustrated with fine artwork and photographs, it also serves to help you identify trees in the landscape around you.

The first section of the book describes the form, structure, growth and ecology of trees, and it identifies the main types of forest in the world. It also discusses forest management.

The main section details the principal trees of the world. It includes comprehensive tables of the species in each family, fact boxes, and distribution maps that summarize the ecology, cultivation and economic uses of each major species. The trees are grouped in evolutionary order, from primitive tree-ferns, gingkos and cycads to the conifers of the cold temperate regions and the broadleaves of the warm temperate regions.

The final section of the encyclopedia covers the commercial, local and ornamental significance of the native trees of tropical America, Asia and Africa. A further reading section, extensive glossary and comprehensive indexes of common and scientific names complete the book.
