Trees

22 questions · Nature

Trees are everywhere around us (in the park, along the road, in the forest) and yet most people struggle to name them. This pack introduces you to the 22 most common and most distinctive species of central Europe, from photo to name. You will get to know the broadleaf trees: the oak with its gnarled crown, the smooth-barked beech, the bright white birch, maple, lime and horse chestnut, plus ash, elm, willow, poplar, alder and hornbeam as well as the walnut tree. Among the conifers you will meet spruce, pine, fir, larch and the poisonous yew. The round is completed by striking characters such as the plane tree with its flaking bark, the berry-red rowan, the primeval ginkgo and the black locust. A handful of features is enough to identify almost any tree: growth habit, bark, needle or leaf, fruit. Once you know them, you will see the forest with completely different eyes. Did you know that the ginkgo is considered a living fossil? Its species has existed almost unchanged for over 200 million years and in Hiroshima ginkgo trees even survived the atomic bomb.
