A Field Guide to the Trees of Britain and Northern Europe. Mitchell, A. F. Collins.
A Field Guide to the Trees of Britain and Northern Europe [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
[Excerpt] Trees grow better and in greater variety in the British Isles than almost anywhere else in the temperate world. This book is the first comprehensive guide to their identification, omitting only the rarest of exotics confined to a few specialist collections. As such, it also covers the trees of Europe north of the Mediterranean littoral and of the Alps. […] The trees in the book include every species and large-growing cultivar to be seen in the countryside, parks and gardens of Europe north of the Mediterranean littoral. The only trees within this region not included are some of great rarity confined to the botanic gardens, the major specialist collections and sub-tropical gardens. It must be appreciated that barely a tenth of all the trees is native to the region, the majority coming from China, Japan and North America and grow widely in the temperate world. This book is thus of almost equal use in any of these areas.
