Where can I find a dichotomous key for Missouri trees that I can print out?

Question

This is for boyscouts. I have found a couple, but they all have to be done on the computer.

Answer 1

You may have to seek out specific pages that suit you from several different sources. Get the specifics from books or online and assemble your own limited to Missouri native tree species.

Check a library book like
"The Audubon Society Field Guide To North American Trees (Eastern Region)"
"Tree Finder: A Manual for the Identification of Trees by Their Leaves"
"Instant Guide to Trees"
"First Guide to Trees (Peterson Field Guides)"
"Trees of the South" by Charlotte Hilton Green
"Forest Trees: A Guide to the Eastern United States"
