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.
