Tree identification FAQ

What should I photograph for tree identification?

Include the whole tree, a leaf attached to a twig, bark, and any fruit, cones, flowers, or buds you can safely reach.

Can bark alone identify a tree?

Sometimes, but bark changes with age and several species look alike. Leaves, twigs, fruit, and location make the result stronger.

Can I use the result to decide whether fruit is edible?

No. Never use photo identification alone to decide whether any plant part is safe to eat.
