Description

Now in its tenth decade of publication, Michigan Trees has been, since it was once first introduced in 1913, the will have to-have reference book for any individual who wants to know about the trees of this unique North American region.

In this new and up to date edition, several new species have been added to the lineup, in addition to sections on tree ecology and fall color. Written and illustrated in a style that appeals at once to academic botanists and armchair arborphiles alike, Michigan Trees gives readers everything they want to know for identifying trees in the Great Lakes state. Included with every description are fascinating notes and asides (as an example, this tidbit on the jack pine: “Parklike or savanna stands in north-central Michigan are prime habitat for the rare Kirtland’s warbler that breeds nowhere else on the planet.”). Also includes a tree key and identification section illustrated with elegantly simple line drawings that reveal the tiny, signature details that make every tree unique.

Burton V. Barnes is Professor of Forestry at the University of Michigan. Formerly a research forester, he’s best known for his research and publications in forest ecology and forest genetics.

Warren H. Wagner, Jr. was once a world authority on ferns. He had been Professor Emeritus of Botany and Natural Resources at the University of Michigan before his death at the age of 80 in 2000.
