The publication includes leaf structure, flowers, spring, summer, winter and fall growth photos, leaf buds, bark, fruits and seeds, status in the province of Ontario and distribution maps. It also includes habitat requirements and preferences, soil type, cultivation and propagation as well as medicinal and edible properties.
