Common Trees of Pennsylvania
1968 Booklet from Pennsylvania Department of Forests and Waters
Pennsylvania, with its unique geographical position, has 102 kinds of trees native to the State, although there are numerous introduced species growing and thriving in this latitude and climate. In addition, at least 21 large native shrubs sometimes grow to tree size and form. The selection of 50 native trees and 4 introduced species described in this booklet was based chiefly on numerical occurrence and value for timber, shade or ornamental purposes.
The first two plates show the types and arrangement of leaves. Outstanding features of individual trees are described in simplified wording and illustrated by accompanying sketches.
