divThe classic key to identifying native trees of the Pacific Coast, updated to reflect changes in the names of trees since publication of the first edition. Identifies native trees, and some widely introduced or naturalized species, of the Pacific Coast region, from British Columbia to Baja California. In this edition, Latin names of trees that grow in California conform to the University of California's 1993 Jepson Manual, and more recent name changes. From the Finders series of pocket guides to native plants and animals of the U.S. and Canada; like all plant guides in the series, this book uses a dichotomous key format for accurate identification.BR/div

great compact key

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 2, 2009

Verified Purchase

This is a fantastic compact key, ideal for indetifying any tree found along the west coast of the USA. There are no photos, but every species is differentiated using a vegetative key accompanied by line drawings and distribution maps. The book is tiny (about 15 x 10 cm), so can easily be kept in a rucksack for a day's hiking.

A very unprepossessing book - nothing at all to look at, but packed with superb botanical information. Not for beginners perhaps, but essential for anyone wanting to identify any and every tree species they come across.

Very valuable guide

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 25, 2012

Verified Purchase

I 1st bought this book back in the 70s and this is an update. I have bought many other tree guides since but this one is great and easy to use and fits in your pocket. I "rediscovered" it when I was yet again confused by the cypress of California and was looking online at Amazon and there was this book that I had lost my copy of a decade ago. I promptly bought it and with Prime I had it days later. It's pocket size is both a blessing and a curse; easy to carry in you pocket on even a short walk but easily lost in the detritus of our lives. It is amazingly simple but useful. I find it ironically funny however that the reason I looked and found it, the California cypresses, the author also finds too complex and confusing for this very small book!

Best tree identification guide

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

The Pacific Coast Tree Finder is the best tree identification guide I’ve come across. It is easy and fun to use, and on your way to IDing a tree you learn a lot about trees (and nature) in general.

The book is set up to guide you through this or that type choices that constantly narrow down the possibilities until you end with the name of the tree in front of you.

A LOT of information is packed into this little book. The high success rate in quickly identifying a tree makes it a staple to bring on a family hike.

Pacific Coast Tree Finder Works Famously

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 22, 2014

Verified Purchase

Mr. Watts has done a fine job putting this little book together. When I opened the shipping package, I felt - "Is this all I get?". The book is small which makes it great to carry along on a hike or outing.
I ordered this book due to being stumped over an outlier Pine Tree found in Seaside Oregon which had a conifer expert and a botanist both unable to identify the suspect.
With Pacific Coast Tree Finder in hand, it took me less than 40 seconds to determine the pine tree was a Bishops Pine (California native) that somehow was planted in Oregon many years back.
I had not used a book like this before. It now goes on every outing and I'm pleased to have this new knowledge base with me!

The best book for learning what trees are around you

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 24, 2008

Verified Purchase

Very logical and easy to use, compact, packed full of useful information. Includes all common native trees and some shrubs and naturalized trees. I have used the book on backpacking trips and day hikes throughout California, in Washington, and Alaska. With this book, I went from knowing nearly no trees to knowing many or most of them. Bring the book with you any time you are out in nature.

Other great books in the finder series include the Desert Tree Finder and Pacific Intertidal Life. I have found the wildflower finders more difficult to use. This tree book is probably the one you will use most.
