Naturally, bark is very useful, but also important to unpack clearly, as the bark of many species can change radically over the course of a long life. Let's get you set off on the right foot by learning to first recognize distinct bark types with fresh eyes.

shagbark hickory, Carya ovata
black birch, Betula lenta
sycamore/planetree, Platanus sp.
yellow birch, Betula alleghaniensis
black cherry, Prunus serotina
sugar maple, Acer saccharum
American beech, Fagus grandifolia
