Berry Finder: A guide to native plants with fleshy fruits (Nature Study Guides)

This is a great little book, taking a flowchart based approach to figuring out what particular berry-filled plant you're looking at (start at page X for this kind of stem, then turn to page Y for that kind of a leaf pattern, etc.) The guide includes prominent warning symbols on poisonous plants, also warning when the plant is rare enough that it's unclear if it's edible or not.There's a separate Pacific Coast edition for plants in that region. Sadly, there isn't a Rocky Mountain edition yet.

love these mini reference books takes very little space on the shelf and light weight enough to through in a day pack. much easier than trying to find data or see a screen on a smart phone while out hiking or picnicking.

Great berry ID, but no color in this book. I went through the book, page by page, and colored all of the berries with the appropriate colored pencils.

Sooo cool and helpful for foraging expeditions! Bought this for myself and I love it! Very educational.

Worth buying

Haven't had a chance to utilize it yet, but the drawings should make it easy to identify the numerous berries found throughout our woods.

Its okay should have actual camera photos. This one has hand drawn in black and white not very usefull for the beginer.

Allows me to identify the berry out in the field. Although I have to refer to a larger field guide later to get information about the berry, I prefer the berry finder because it allows me carry something that is much smaller than bulkier all-inclusive field guides.
