#72: A-Z of British Trees

The Woodland Trust has produced a useful illustrated guide to British Trees.

Each entry includes:
- the Latin name of the tree
- a description
- images of the trees
- identification guide to help identify the tree and what it looks like at different times of the year.
- a guide to where the trees can be found
- value to wildlife
- uses of the wood and associated mythology and other stories
- threats to the speices e.g. ash trees are threatened by ash dieback.

A very useful guide.
