Use the guide in the field to compare leaf shape, bark, growth habit, habitat, and elevation when identifying regional woody plants. A photograph or single feature may not be conclusive, especially for seedlings, hybrids, or closely related species. Record the location and multiple characteristics, then confirm uncertain identifications with a herbarium, extension office, or qualified botanist before eating, transplanting, treating, or removing a plant.
