Description
The study of trees often becomes puzzling to the beginner when several trees of the same species are examined. The leaves, bark, shape, fruit, etc., may differ from tree to tree. Trees are like people—no two are exactly alike. We learn our trees, then, by studying several trees, not just one. This gives us a knowledge of the range of these variations. In time we take these differences in stride. Identification is then no longer a problem. This booklet was prepared mainly for South Dakota boys and girls. It will assist teachers in the public schools and will be of help to leaders and members in carrying out 4-H Forestry and Horticulture projects. Trees included are either native to South Dakota or have been planted here. The authors have attempted to include those most likely to be encountered in the state.
