Virginia Tech Tree Identification brings the award winning Virginia Tech digital dendrology material to your Android smart phone. It contains fact sheets for over 1000 woody plants from all over North America with an in-depth description, range map and thousands of color images of leaves, flowers, fruit, twigs, bark and form.Users can narrow the species list for any location in North America using the phone's GPS, network signal or any entered address or zip code. Basically the application can become “Woody Plants of Where You Are Standing”. For example, it can become the “Woody Plants of Southwestern Oregon” , the “Woody Plants of Central Park” or the or “The Woody Plants of 37.108 lat., -80.452 long., elevation 2118”.
Users can further narrow the species list by answering a series of very simple tree attribute questions such as where the plant is growing, leaf shape, leaf arrangement, flower color or fruit type.
The species list can also be narrowed by typing a keyword such as oak, Abies, red or palm. For example if oak is typed only oaks found in the defined area will be listed.
A feature also allows you to send any tree related question to “Dr. Dendro”, a tree expert in the Department of Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation at Virginia Tech. You can send a tree description or pictures of your plant and experts will help with identification.

I just downloaded this app and already I am impressed. I've been dealing with this app and that app and this website and that that website. It's always a guessing game with certain species who's leaves look like other species. I've only scrolled through a little and see that this should be easier with the fact that it finds trees to my exact location.👍 Would like to make a suggestion though. A secondary picture of younger tree bark would be helpful. I know these are all ID from VT though.

I have *really* liked this app and have used it for years. I'd give 9 starts out of 5, except: 1) you can't zoom in on the photos--they're good but you can't access any detail (earlier versions, at least for iPhone, permitted this); and 2) I hate that they've made the photos the default view--this app is about information, not about pretty pictures. The current system is clunky and really gets in the way of the information.

Was looking for a resource to supplement my identification books while in field. Better than most other tree ID apps. Huge selection, love that you can download for offline use. Only suggestion would be to add a "notes" feature in each of the plant selections. I would love a consolidated place to note location, ID tips that I've picked up for my region

What a great resource if I do not have a tree key with me which happens all the time. At first I thought the app was broken because once I got to the details of one spp I could not get back to the apps home screen. I finally realized if I just swipe to the left from the top of the screen it goes back. Now it all good.

I've been using this app as my go-to tree ID tool for about 5 years now and I absolutely love it! I've used it in the field, on casual strolls, and even hanging out with friends. I live in the northeastern US and have found this app to cover nearly all of the native and naturalized species found throughout New England. So don't let the "Virginia Tech" affiliation turn you away from giving this app a try if you're not actually *in* Virginia. ☺️🍁🍃🍂🌿

2/23/19 edit: I have used this app for years and rated it 5 stars. Unfortunately now every time I open it up, it crashes on my Android phone. Many others have had the same experience. I'll check back eventually to see if works again. Too bad. It was a nice app while it lasted.

Annoying bug freezes after the plant description have to work around by doing a force stop and then opening again. Otherwise it is very easy to use and useful in the field. Cannot recommend due to the bug.

Took over an hour to download option one and if you open any other app or anything it starts over... I get highspeed internet... at first I thought it was their servers then I noticed that without using any internet it artificially slows itself down with loading its own filed that it has already downloaded...
