Studies of Trees

"Studies of Trees" by Jacob Joshua Levison is an early 20th-century educational guide focused on helping newcomers learn about trees. Designed for students, teachers, and nature lovers, the book teaches how to recognize different kinds of trees by looking at their features all year long. Recognizing that people needed a simple, one-stop resource, the author created a detailed but easy-to-understand overview of tree types, where they live, and how they're useful. It starts with the basics of tree parts, like leaves and bark, then provides straightforward care and growing guidance, recognizing the rising interest in trees and their role in both cities and the wild.
