Seeing Trees: Discover the Extraordinary Secrets of Everyday Trees (Seeing Series)
Many people, for example, are surprised to learn that oaks and maples have flowers, much less flowers that are astonishingly beautiful when viewed up close. Focusing on widely grown trees, this captivating book describes the rewards of careful and regular tree viewing, outlines strategies for improving your observations, and describes some of the most visually interesting tree structures, including leaves, flowers, buds, leaf scars, twigs, and bark.
Seeing trees : discover the extraordinary secrets of everyday trees
In-depth profiles of ten familiar species — including such beloved trees as white oak, southern magnolia, white pine, and tulip poplar — show you how to recognize and understand many of their most compelling but usually overlooked physical features. Nancy Ross Hugo's delightful text and Robert Llewellyn's breathtaking photographs deliver a steady stream of small astonishments that not only underscore the fascinating physiology of trees but will bring you into a closer, more intimate relationship with these miracles of nature.
Made for us nearsighted gardeners, who long ago learned the thrill of peering at plants. I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to know more about this fascinating group of plants both in the wild or in your backyard. She is articulate and enthusiastic, making this an ideal volume for beginning observers of trees.
Beautifully produced and fascinating to read.

Nancy Ross Hugo has been writing, lecturing, and teaching about trees, native plants, and floral design for over 30 years. His book, Empires of the Forest: Jamestown and the Beginning of America , won five national awards in nonfiction and photography, and Washington: Have you ever looked at a tree?
That may sound like a silly question, but there is so much more to notice about a tree than first meets the eye. Seeing Trees celebrates seldom-seen but easily observable tree traits and invites you to watch trees with the same care and sensitivity that birdwatchers watch birds.
