This softcover reprint makes the last edition of the still sought-after work from 1995 available again. The book presents the branches and their buds, as well as the leaf scars and lenticels. Colorful, as realistic as possible watercolors allow for accurate identification. Where present, hairs have also been illustrated based on microscopic images. The visual representations are complemented by concise descriptions of the tree species. The book serves both nature enthusiasts and professionals as a reliable source of information.
