"Five Stars" according to axtellkid. Excellent book of trees in Texas. Have heard it recommended for years. So glad to have it.. A Customer said An excellent survey of trees and their natural ranges. Simpson's field guide is a comprehensive encyclopedic guide to trees "naturally" occuring in Texas. For each species, it provides a shaded map of its counties of occurrence, as well as one page summary of the tree's characteristics and habitats. The color plates (one for each species)are helpful but small. My only complaint is that the omitted general illustrations of the leaf, silhouette, flowers, and fruits of the various trees would have been of great useful. "Benny Simpsons Field Guide to Texas Trees" according to Ronald Chang. This is a top notch book on Texas trees and shrubs with very good descriptions and photographs. It is one of the best field guides that is worth itûs weight in gold with clear, concise descriptions and written by one of the most respected scientists who was extremely familiar with his subject.
