Tree Identification

Tree Identification

Identifying trees can be tricky but our interactive tool helps you do precisely that. Simply select the properties - bark, fruit, shape profile and leaves - of the tree you're interested in, and 'Submit' to show all the matching results from the 100+ species in our Trees@Kew database. Results will be displayed on a new page, and you can modify your search by selecting the 'revise search' option.
