Field Guide To Eucalypts

Gardening & Environment Education & Reference Science & Nature

Field Guide to Eucalypts by M.I.H. Brooker and David Kleinig is the 1983 hardback classic that Australian plant lovers reach for when they need to sort a silver-leafed ironbark from a flowering red gum. In 288 pages of crisp botanical detail, this vintage reference walks readers through identification keys, habitat maps and vivid species descriptions that make eucalyptus botany accessible to young adults and seasoned horticulturists alike.

The sturdy Inkata Press binding arrives with its original dust jacket, now gently sun-faded and nibbled at the edges but still protecting the clean, unmarked pages inside. A touch of foxing appears only on the preliminary leaves; the rest of the book is tight, bright and free of writing, dog-ears or tears, making it a presentable shelf standout for collectors of Australian flora or practical gardeners after reliable tree data.

Whether you are landscaping with natives, brushing up on horticultural credentials or simply curious about the gum trees that define so much of the continent’s landscape, this copy of Field Guide to Eucalypts offers durable, information-rich guidance without the price of a new print-run.
