DescriptionOver forty years ago, the Cooperative Extension Service at Cook College, Rutgers University, published Common Forest Trees of New Jersey. The book, authored by Austin Lentz, still serves as a guide to the most frequently seen forest tree species in the state. New Jersey's landscape has changed in the past four decades and Trees of New Jersey and the Mid-Atlantic States is a reflection of those changes. Many species not described in the Lentz guide have been described here, such as non-native trees commonly used in our urban landscape. The text for each primary species includes specific statewide and worldwide range information as well as descriptions of similar species one may encounter in New Jersey and the adjacent states.
