Book Reviews of Fruit Key and Twig Key to Trees and Shrubs
Book Review: If you can only have one winter key, this is it
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of three winter keys I use on a regular basis. I work at a botanical garden, but I'm not a botanist. I find it easy to use, and fairly comprehensive.
It uses B/W photos instead of line drawings- this works great for the fruit key. For the twig key, drawings might have been clearer, but it's still very good.
The first ten pages cover the terminology used in the rest of the book, and are a good introduction.
There are seperate indexes for common & scientific name. One caveat: each of the two sections (twig, fruit) has its own set of indexes.
When I brought this key to work, both my boss (a horticulturalist) and our head gardener ( a botanist ) produced well-worn copies of their own, so it's been around awhile, and has stood the test of time.
Summary of Fruit Key and Twig Key to Trees and Shrubs
One of the handiest and most widely used identification aids. Fruit key covers 120 deciduous and evergreen species; twig key covers 160 deciduous species. Easily used. Over 300 photographs. "Students in the field . . . can get accurate identifications faster with these guides than with any of the many teacher's mimeographed ones." ? Phytologia.
