Summary "Trees You Want to Know" by Donald Culross Peattie is a scientific guide written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the various tree species found in North America, highlighting their characteristics, names, uses, and geographic ranges. It aims to foster an appreciation for these trees among campers, gardeners, and anyone interested in the diverse flora of the continent. The opening of this work provides an introduction to its purpose and scope, emphasizing the importance of being acquainted with the trees that enrich America’s landscapes. It notes the challenges of learning tree names due to regional variations and the use of both common and Latin nomenclature. The author acknowledges the diversity of over 400 tree species, and sets the foundation for a detailed exploration of selected trees from across different climates and areas in the United States and Canada, complete with descriptions of their characteristics, habitats, and significance.
