  The easiest way for a blind or low vision person to begin the identification of trees is to hold branches in his or her hand. On young trees, or those with low branches, that is easy. Otherwise, you may need help.

The first thing to decide is whether the branch is from a conifer or a broadleaf. For the most part, native broadleafs have much wider leaves than do conifers. Conifer leaves are small and narrow or needle-like, or even flattened to the twig like the scales of a fish.
