Identifying trees is a great way to learn more about the natural world around you. By looking closely at features such as leaves, bark, seeds, and overall shape, you can begin to recognise different tree species.
You can also identify trees for the benefit of others, allowing people to learn about the trees around them, such as a Tree Identification Project in a local park.
Tree Identification Guides
We have created some simple tree identification guides to help you identify tree species from their characteristics.
Android/iOS App
Seek by iNaturalist is our recommended app for tree identification. We have used it in many applications and have been impressed with its accuracy. Always check photos for comparison, and ideally use alongside an established book, for the most accurate identification.
You can also try Google Lens and AI apps, but we found that they are not as accurate as apps designed for tree/plant identification.
