Work Cited:

Vancouver Tree App

Great stand by source, helpful in retrieving information right away. Didn’t have some of the trees/shrubs.

Farrar, John Laird. “Trees in Canada” Canadian Journal of Forest Research.

Good source for native plants, interesting facts on a forestry level. VERY helpful, describing all the cones. A bit too in-depth for a general read/heavily botanical language.

Surprisingly good source for basic information on trees and shrubs. However, it’s very brief with facts/doesn’t elaborate on information very often.
