What's New

*Important - As with any update there is a small chance that My List could be deleted, please make sure you have another copy saved elsewhere*

The app has been updated with data from the new Trees of Southern Africa field guide which includes many photos of the full tree, new distribution maps, text and a bigger focus on the tree groups. We have also added lots of extra photos from Braam van Wyk, one of the authors.

Other changes:
Now a universal app - designed for both iPad and iPhone.
Added a new alphabetic index that is sorted by species.
Updated My Location to an interactive map that allows you to tap on a location or let it find your current location and only show the trees for that location.
Updated user interface to iOS 7.

App Description

This LITE interactive version of Braam and Piet van Wyk’s Field Guide to Trees of Southern Africa is fully functional but includes ONLY 30 species, compared to more than 840 species in the full app. If you like the way this app works please check out the full version.

This guide has species arranged in 43 logical groups based on easy-to-observe leaf and stem characteristics.

FEATURES:
Search by English, Afrikaans or Scientific tree names.
Now a universal app - designed for both iPad and iPhone.
Images, distribution maps and text descriptions of species found throughout the region.
Most species have multiple full colour photographs for easy identification including photos of the full tree.
A 'Group Search' that allows you to easily identify a tree species based on the characteristics of the leaves.
A 'Compare' feature that allows you to compare two species on the same screen
You can select a location in Southern Africa, so that the lists of trees throughout the program display only the trees in that location.
A personal species list that stores your sightings saved to the device that can be exported via email in a CSV format.

*Uninstalling the program will result in the loss of your list, it is recommended that you keep your own backup (master list) separate from the program.
