Use the tips below to compare your specimen. Try another view when the first suggestions are uncertain.
Photo tips for tree identification
- Photograph a mature leaf with its outline and veins in focus.
- Show how leaves attach to a twig to help distinguish similar trees.
- For bark, fill the frame with a clear section of the trunk and choose Bark.
- Try a second identification using flowers, fruit, cones or the whole tree.
Tree identifier questions
Can I identify a tree by its leaves?
A clear leaf photo can suggest the plant species. Include the complete leaf, its edges and veins. A second view of a twig, bark, flowers or fruit helps you compare close matches.
Can I identify a tree in winter?
Try a bark photo or a whole-tree view when leaves are absent. Bark alone is less distinctive than flowers or fruit, so compare the results with branching shape and other available features.
Which photo setting should I choose?
Choose the part visible in your photo: Leaf, Bark, Flower, Fruit or Whole. Leave Auto selected when you are unsure. The tool suggests species rather than confirming a tree's age or condition.
