Tree Identification
Understanding what kind of tree you are looking after, or simply looking at, adds a whole new level of enjoyment. It also acts as a pathway to learning about trees or a particular tree in much more detail.
These are two of many apps available that have worked for us:
- Woodland Trust Tree ID App Woodland Trust. App https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-and-wildlife/british-trees/tree-id-app/
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/british-tree-identification/id1112564089
Leads you through a series of questions to narrow down the options
Great for learning how to identify trees without the need for the apps
Focussed on British and common non-native species
PictureThis - Plant Identifier
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/picturethis-plant-identifier/id1252497129?mt=8
Just take a good close-up photo of the leaves and see a number of options for what it might be.
Great for speed and less common species
Should be used with care before being definitive on more obscure species
If you want to go deeper and value the traditional approach, the benchmark guidebook is:
Collins Tree Guide by Owen Johnson & David More
Available from local bookshops through: uk.bookshop.org https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/collins-tree-guide-owen-johnson/668171?ean=9780007207718
