Then, in the Master Pages, the species of the tree is determined, with similar details placed together to highlight
differences

All of the more than 1500 photographs were made specifically for use in this book and were taken either in the field or of carefully collected specimens. Where possible, details such as leaves, fruit, etc., appear in actual size, or in the same scale.
