Dirr, Professor of Horticulture at the University of Georgia, has compiled arguably two of the most useful (and beautiful) books on landscape trees available. A parent species of the rarer Arran whitebeam, the rock whitebeam is becoming increasingly hard to find. The edges of some simple leaves can be indented or lobed, such as sycamore, field maple and hawthorn, so take care not to mistake these for compound leaves. Many times you can skip the key if you review the leaf illustrations and have some knowledge of individual tree species. Wildlife loves its leaves and fruit, and aphids flock to it, bringing with them an array of their predators.

In winter you’ll find that there aren’t many features to help with identification of deciduous trees, but leaf buds and twigs can reveal some distinctive clues. There didn't seem to be one perfect selection, so I opted for this one because the title said it all.
