Tree identification key
An interactive key for identifying UK trees
At each step, select the statement that matches the tree you want to identify. All of the parts needed to make a complete identification - leaves, flowers and fruits - may not be present on the tree at the same time. Sometimes you might need to make several visits.
When you reach an identification, you can choose to see more detail about that particular tree.
