If you have an android smartphone I highly recommend the virginia tech tree id app. It will use your gps to let you know native trees in your area. Pictures, descriptions,maps very in depth. Nor sure if its available on iphone but it may be
"National Audobon Society Field Guide to North American Trees".....outstanding book....
x2 Pics are not small either. Great color photos and can ID by bark, leaf, nut and fruit.
good lookin on the virginia map for free. will also try to get audobon to have a hardcopy around.

Got 2 tree types here to use for firewood.
Birch & White spruce.
Many places here no cell phone signal
a good thing IMO

The Internet can also be of good use for ID of trees. Don't forget that you can choose all images after doing a search. For example, type in something like beech and you get a listing. Now go up to the top bar and click on Images and you'll get lots so you can ID by leaf, bark, etc.

I just downloaded this for the iPhone (right before iOS 7) -thanks!
I know this is an older thread but I'm commenting to bump it because this app was very helpful in me identifying a tree and not having to post a new thread to ask for help. The only thing that would make the app better is pics of split wood, but hey I'm not complaining. Hope it helps someone else too.
