The Field Key to Winter Twigs offers a striking new approach to the identification of over 400 trees, shrubs and woody climbers to be found wild or planted in the British Isles. It allows any diligent enthusiast to reliably name a woody plant, normally within three turns of pages and often within a minute of study (due to the novel construction of the keys, where entry is possible at any user selected point).
It provides:
- short and user-friendly keys to groups of similar woody plants;
- hundreds of line illustrations to clarify descriptions;
- colour plates to highlight twig and bud morphology; and
- a glossary and a detailed section of unusual characters.
The Field Key to Winter Twigs is a powerful identifcation tool, invaluable to all amateur and professional botanists, ecologists, gardeners, foresters, dendrologists, horticulturalists, naturalists and ramblers.
No other book is comparable in detail and scope: it opens the door to a fascinating new world, allowing the reader to name a woody plant that may have previously been unnameable.
