Common Trees of the North Carolina Piedmont |
These web pages provide resources for identifying and developing botanical knowledge of tree species of the North Carolina Piedmont. The overall aim is to make tree identification more accessible and reliable than is often the case for non-professional botanists using traditional keys - http://www.ibiblio.org/openkey/index.html.
