Philadelphia Trees: A Field Guide to the City and the Surrounding Delaware Valley

With an easy-to-follow, yet authoritative text combined with more than 1000 color photographs, line drawings, and detailed maps, this is the ultimate field guide to the trees of Philadelphia and adjacent counties in the Delaware Valley.

Produced in consultation with the Morris Arboretum, this guide contains a wealth of information about 168 tree species growing along the streets and in the arboreta, parks, preserves, and botanical gardens of the city and the surrounding area.

Through the Lens of Paul W. Meyer

Celebrating the beauty of its accomplishments, the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania has chronicled its past with the recent publication of a book of photographs by longtime Arboretum Director Paul W. Meyer.

The 96-page book is an assemblage of the best of the thousands of photos Meyer has taken at the Arboretum, nestled in the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia, throughout his 35 years there.

This visual narrative is Meyer's personal guided tour of the Arboretum that illustrates its transformation from a private estate into a public garden.
