Collecting and preserving leaves is a great way to learn tree identification. It is also a method that can be used to document the different varieties of trees on your property or to inventory trees at a park or school campus as a class project.

*How to ID Trees of Texas* The Texas A&M Forest Service Tree Identification website can help you learn to observe a tree's leaves, structures and shapes. With these characteristics, you can identify your tree. And by exploring the links, you can understand more about how trees grow and where.
determine identification using the leaf characteristics: leaf apexes and bases (heart shaped, rounded, tapered), leaf margins (serrated, lobed), leaf textures (hairy, smooth, thick, thin, rough, waxy), leaf structure (simple, compound) and leaf arrangements (opposite, alternate, whorled).
Compound leaves can be tricky; are you looking at a leaf or a leaflet? Only by finding the bud, will you know for certain. Study the size, shape and variations on the same tree. In distinguishing conifer species, identifying the number of needles per fascicle is useful.
My Tree ID helps identify tree species based on leaves, flowers, seed, bark or location using a key, descriptions, and full-color images. Over 1500 images from 475 tree species are included. There is also a glossary of terms and a tree age estimator tool.
In this project, we replace the traditional leaf collection with a digital collection, where you will share photographs of trees and leaves in your area. Your collection will be compiled with the entire class on a digital bulletin board. Observe trees in your area and communicate data to others.
