Tree identifier
Trees can be tricky because the parts that identify them may be high up. Use up to three photos (a leaf close-up, the bark and the whole tree) and FloraLens combines them to suggest the most likely species.

Questions
Can it tell the tree's age or health?
No. It identifies the likely species. For tree health or safety, ask an arborist.
Will it work in winter without leaves?
Bark and shape help, but confidence is usually lower without leaves or fruit.
Can I eat the fruit?
Never eat fruit based on a photo ID. Confirm with a local expert.
Cost?
1 credit.
Can it identify a tree from a fallen leaf?
Often, yes, if the leaf is in good condition. Photograph the top and underside, and the bark of the tree it fell from if you know it.
