Conifers of California by Ronald M. Lanner

An inspiring book for bonsai full of beautiful photos of various conifer species. The book also contains range maps, which can aid in tree tourism! Eric has used this book many times to identify places to look for trees like Foxtail pines, whitebark pines and Mountain Hemlock.

From the Publisher: "Conifers of California" is the first book entirely devoted to the Golden state's native cone-bearing trees and shrubs. Richly illustrated, it serves as both a natural history and field guide. Each species' narrative is accompanied by a full-page color botanical illustration, photographs from the wild, detailed indentification information, and a range map. California is home to more than 50 native species of pines, first, spruces, junipers hemlocks, and other conifers. "Conifers of California" covers the state's world-renowned cone-bearers, such as coast redwood, giant sequoia, and bristlecone pines, and also features its many other rare and unusual conifers, such as Torrey pine, Santa Lucia fir, and Brewer spruce.
