Have any of you run across a good internet guide showing photos of hardwood trees found in the northeast area ... Maine? There are many showing leaves but I haven't been able to find one IDing the bark and shape/sizes of the hardwoods in Maine.

Swamp Donkey's guide is a good shot at it.

I know you want something online. But I like a book to bring out in the woods.

Virginia Tech has a very helpful bank of fact sheets that include pictures and descriptions of most trees you are likely to run into. http://dendro.cnre.vt.edu/dendrology/factsheets.cfm

Thanks for the links. I've ID'd some of what we have on our 12 acre lot... northern red oak, white ash, red & sugar maples, yellow and gray birch... pretty common up this way. The lot used to be a field surrounded on all sides by nice stonewalls. Some of the ash and a couple oaks, with plus 15" at breast height, are coming out this spring. Lots of young trees coming along for many years too. Nice stand of wood... even has a few old log roads thru it.

I like  the idea of a book to take into the woods "thecfarm" ...  BTW...The "C" wouldn't be for Clare would it?

WDH,I see a road trip to Ga so I can kick you.  :D
The C stands for Crane. We shorted up our email address before we started to sell veggies. We just felt The Crane Farm was too long. So somehow The C Farm just stuck.

thecfarm... Knew a guy years ago named Ross who flew ultralights around Chesterville, and I think he also had (has) a saw mill.

Yes a field guide is always nice. There used to be, maybe still is, a guide book called Overwintering Trees and Shrubs of Maine. No leaves, but lots of other stuff to go by. It is not a pocket guide though, it's probably 8-1/2" x 11".
