N.C. Cooperative Extension, Chatham County

A hands-on workshop on winter botany for landowners, landscapers, farmers, park managers, naturalists &amp; anyone curious about trees.

Chatham County Agriculture & Conference Center

Correct identification is a critical first step in making management decisions for any plant in the landscape or garden. Identification of tree species is of particular interest for landowners managing woodlands for wildlife or timber, for farmers with livestock browsing near potentially toxic species, and for naturalists seeking to enhance their familiarity with native trees. However, many may be deterred by the esoteric terminology and specialized features used for tree identification. Fortunately, most woody plants can be readily distinguished by twig, bud, and bark characteristics, making winter a great time of year to learn the identity of trees and understory shrubs on your property.
