A Guide to Tree Identification

It is possible to identify many of our native trees by looking at their leaves. Strictly speaking, identification should involve examination of the flowers (petals, sepals, stamens etc), which are less variable than leaves. However, in most cases, it is possible to make an identification using just a few features of the leaves and twigs.

We have a series of guides to help identify individual tree species on the right. Just click on the name of the tree that interests you.
