It combines vivid color illustrations, clear distribution maps, and concise descriptions organized by tree families, making it an indispensable, portable resource for quick and accurate tree identification in the field. ## Description The definitive field guide to the trees of North America, featuring maps, detailed illustrations, and information on more than 600 species of trees, from the preeminent, bestselling author and illustrator “A beautiful, masterful, and much-needed work that will henceforth be our guide to the North American trees.”—Edward O. Wilson The Sibley Guide to Trees is an astonishingly elegant guide to a complex subject. It condenses a huge amount of information about tree identification—more than has ever been collected in a single book—into a logical, accessible, easy-to-use format. With more than 4,100 meticulous, exquisitely detailed paintings, the Guide highlights the often subtle similarities and distinctions between more than 600 tree species—native trees as well as many introduced species. More than 500 maps show the complete range, both natural and cultivated, for nearly all species. No other guide has ever made field identification so clear. Highlighted features include: • leaves (including multiple leaf shapes and fall leaf color) • bark • needles • cones • flowers • fruit • twigs • silhouettes Trees are arranged taxonomically, with all related species grouped together. By focusing on the fundamental characteristics of, for example, oaks or chestnuts or hickories, the Guide helps the user recognize these basic species groups the same way birders recognize thrushes, warblers, or sparrows. In addition, there are essays on taxonomy, on the cultivation of trees, and on conservation issues, reflecting Sibley’s deep concern with habitat preservation and environmental health. An important contribution to our understanding of the natural world, The Sibley Guide to Trees is a necessity for every tree lover, traveler, and naturalist. Review: Beautifully illustrated, if you only take one field guide with you, this is it. - I purchased this guide book for an extensive trip to the Southwest. Like Sibley’s Guide to Birds, the illustrations in this guide to trees are unparalleled. The leaves, bark, nuts, etc, are beautifully illustrated. I have not seen any other guide that comes close to this. The illustrations are in color and give great detail in some cases showing you both the young bark and older bark, since younger tree bark can look very different. Illustrations of fruits, nuts, flowers, leaves, are all in color and consistently gives you multiple images so you can see variations. Additionally, the distribution maps showing where species occur are nicely done, and the written descriptions for identification are concise and clear. Thank David Allen Sibley for giving us a great field guide to trees. Review: Sibley, Say No More! - This is an awesome plethora of information. I will cherish it forever. ## Features - THE SIBLEY GUIDE TO TREES ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #10,761 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Forests & Forestry (Books) #6 in Trees in Biological Sciences #18 in Outdoors & Nature Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,012 Reviews | ## Images ![The Sibley Guide to Trees - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/817MizklV-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully illustrated, if you only take one field guide with you, this is it. *by M***H on December 14, 2018* I purchased this guide book for an extensive trip to the Southwest.

I will cherish it forever. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If You Buy 1 Field Guide to Trees, This Is It *by A***E on November 13, 2009* This is an amazing book. It is not the most comprehensive guide, but covering more the most common half of tree species in North America, it would be quite unwieldy to tote around if Sibley were aiming at completeness. Sibley has arranged the trees by families, which is quite convenient for narrowing down what you are trying to identify. However, what makes this book such a fantastic companion is how he can pack the most relevant information, mainly in pictorial form, about each tree in a page or two. The illustrations of leaves (often both sides, some in fall colors), bark, twigs, seeds, nuts, acorns, flowers, etc. are geared to helping make a rapid identification. By using pictures, instead of lengthy descriptions, you can instantly compare the tree you are looking at to the species in the book. If you are interested about the trees in your back yard, the local park, or hiking through the forest, this guide can help you find out what you are looking at. Knowing the name, can then be the spring board to find out more our leafy friends. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Sibley Guide to Trees (Sibley Guides) - The Sibley Guide to Birds, 2nd Edition (Sibley Guides) - The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America: Second Edition (Sibley Guides) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/1562911-the-sibley-guide-to-trees](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/1562911-the-sibley-guide-to-trees) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
