A comprehensive and accessible guide to New Zealand's native trees written by professional forester John Wardle, with over 300 colour photographs by Ian Platt. Each tree species is described and illustrated, and the botanical and ecological details are supplemented with information about their uses. John Wardle describes the variety of products that trees provide, from timber to medicines, and explains how some tree products might be of sustainable use in the future. Wardle's Native Trees of New Zealand and their story will be of interest as a reference book for students, a guide for conservationists, and a source of inspiration for the home gardener.
