It will be national tree week in the UK from 27 November to 5 December. This is to highlight that the time to plant trees in Britain is from November to March. (To this effect, national tree week in the Republic of Ireland is celebrated in March).

Even though most leaves are starting to fall at this time of the year, the National History Museum produced a Tree identification tree. And leaves aren’t the only way to identify trees anyway. There’s the bark, the formation of branches, and so much more.
