How can I tell what kind of tree I'm looking at?

To determine the type of tree you are looking at, you can consider a few things: what the leaves look like (broad or narrow, lobed or toothed edges, serrated or smooth edges), the shape of the tree (rounded, pyramid, or spreading), the bark (smooth or rough, mottled or furrowed), and the overall size of the tree. For evergreen trees, look for distinct needle shapes, such as flat, linear or scaly needles. If you are unsure of the type of tree, you can consult a local tree expert or reference a variety of online resources for more information.
