Trees are a big part of any communitys character, and this is very much the case in Phoenix. This desert city with its hot, dry climate hosts a unique assemblage of species like Arizona Ash, Arizona Sycamore, Live Oak, and state tree Blue Palo Verde. There are also various exotics--including several palms--that add an international flavor to the citys greenery. This beautifully illustrated reference features over 80 common and familiar trees and shrubs from the Phoenix area. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a terrific companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and botanists who wish to sharpen their identification skills and connect more meaningfully with the trees that provide shade, oxygen, and are an important part of Phoenixs natural environment. Made in the USA.
