adapted from the Potowmack Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society:
Even when the leaves are not on the trees, you can still identify them by their bark. Here are some common trees in our region that can be identified by their bark. All of these are alternate-branched. For opposite-branched trees, memorize the acronym "MAD-Cap-Horse Buck" for Maple, Ash, Dogwood, the family Caprifoliaceae (honeysuckles and viburnums, mostly shrubs), and the Horse chestnut or Buckeye (Genus Aesculus).
