About this app

This interactive version of Braam and Piet van Wyk’s Field Guide to Trees of Southern Africa is an essential field guide for those visiting and living in the region with an interest in tree species. It describes over 840 of the more common and accessible tree species found in the Southern African region.

NB: Please note that an additional download of 400MB is required once this app has been installed. Please ensure you use a WiFi connection to prevent additional data costs.

This guide has species arranged in 43 logical groups based on easy-to-observe leaf and stem characteristics.

FEATURES:
* Search by English, Afrikaans or Scientific tree names.
* Images, distribution maps and text descriptions of over 840 species found throughout the region.
* Most species have multiple full colour photographs for easy identification including photos of the full tree.
* A 'Group Search' that allows you to easily identify a tree species based on the characteristics of the leaves.
* A 'Compare' feature that allows you to compare two species on the same screen
* You can select a location in Southern Africa, so that the lists of trees throughout the program display only the trees in that location.
* A personal species list that stores your sightings saved to the device that can be exported to your storage card or via email in a CSV format.

Very limited number of trees (80) in their database. Not a complete list of South African trees and will frequently look for trees that they don't have listed. The app was last updated more than 5 years ago. The images and description of trees on their database is very interesting though.

Enjoy it quite a lot, but hope for updating to newer versions because technology always move forwards and it seems as if new phones might not always be able to handle old versions. Only have 825 of the promised 845 trees

Just downloaded this app. Took about 5 minutes. Open app and all 846 trees in the list. Use Huawai Y9 Prime phone. Beautiful pictures and descriptions. Good app and money well spend. Do nit know why people give negative comments.
