Victoria, British Columbia, known by locals as the City of Gardens also holds the esteemed position as Canada's warmest city. Its climate, a pleasant mixture of plentiful rain and long stretches of sunshine, makes Victoria an ideal place for an incredible array of diverse tree species, both native and introduced, to grow and flourish. In fact, the vast, lush, green tree canopy acts as the city's lungs, absorbing carbon dioxide from the surrounding atmosphere and releasing oxygen, helping to mitigate climate change.

This compact, user-friendly guidebook introduces more than 200 species, cultivars, and varieties of Victoria's incredibly diverse tree inventoryfrom Garry oak to Douglas fir, giant redwood to Japanese maple. Accessible for locals and visitors alike, Trees of Victoria: A Wanderer's Guide covers Victoria proper, as well as Oak Bay, Uplands, South Saanich, James Bay, and Esquimalt, highlighting all the main visitor attractions along way. This attractive, full-colour resource is a must-have, whether you are in town for a short jaunt around the historic city centre or you wish to identify the trees in your own neighbourhood or along your regular walking or hiking route.
