Summary: A wonderful addition to any reference collection
Review: Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines in Kansas is a wonderful addition to any reference collection. I have used this book for years and have found to it to be a useful tool in identifying native trees and shrubs in Kansas. The black and white photos are a nice compliment to the written text. Each plant entry has pictures of the leaves, male and female flower, buds, fruit, and trunk. These make it easy to identify plant material when in the field or at a desk. The written text is very descriptive of each major plant part pictured. However, the terminology is rather technical and not easily understood by the casual nature lover. I would recommend this text to anyone who is interested in learning how to identifying native plants in Kansas.
