Have you tried the Tree apps for your phone ?

 

Failing that BQ have a range of good identification books that have been going for donkeys' years .

This is going to sound a bit daft but what are you after in terms of identification?

 

I like the Dorling Handsley Handbook: Trees, it has nice pictures and is well laid out but it doesn't have a Key to aid identification; whereas the Collins Field Guide to Tree does, which is very useful but this lacks detailed images.

 

I tend to mix and match between the two and cross reference with my other ID books.

i've got this amongst others but for a pocket guide it's great.

You'll never need another in the field, but it's good to have a few others in the office for leisurely idents of rare species. Get the hardback, it's worth it in the long run. Or if you get paperback, get a case for it. Mine has taken a pounding in the survey bag for a few years but is in amazingly good condition. The day it falls apart I'm going to buy 2 more copies in case it goes out of print.
