101 Trees

101 Trees is my next book. I have used this title–actually, Identifying 101 Trees–to stay focused on the text and the photographs. The title may change. I have now signed a contract with Heritage House Publishing of Victoria, British Columbia, and the plan is that this book will be published in Spring 2027. It is wonderful to know my manuscript is in good hands.

It is on trees again. Urban trees. With a twist.

Please read my blog articles on what is currently fascinating in urban nature. You will find them under Blog.

This week, I will be leading a couple of Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival ornamental cherry blossom walks in Stanley Park, a park I am quite familiar with! Perhaps you will be with me. We will be enjoying the late-blooming cultivars.

This close-up of ‘Kanzan’ ornamental cherry in bloom shows flowers being a bright pink and leaves being copper-coloured. The leaves will eventually turn green.
This Prunus Sato-zakura Group ‘Kanzan’ lives in the West End of Vancouver. Its trunk really shows that it is a survivor.
