The Tree Identification App That Knows Every Species
Leaf ID · Bark Recognition · Flower Matching · Nature Journal
Stop wondering what that tree is. My TreeID uses advanced AI photo recognition to identify trees and plants instantly from a single photo. Point your camera at a leaf, a piece of bark, a flower, or a fruit — and get an accurate species match in seconds. With a database of over 10,000 species, seasonal identification guides, and a built-in nature journal, My TreeID is the most complete tree identifier app for anyone who spends time outdoors.
Everything You Need to Identify Trees
My TreeID combines AI-powered photo recognition with a comprehensive species database, seasonal guides, and a personal nature journal. Every feature is designed to make tree and plant identification effortless and rewarding.
AI Photo Recognition
Snap a photo and let the AI do the work. My TreeID analyzes leaf shape, venation patterns, bark texture, flower morphology, and fruit structure to deliver an accurate species identification in seconds. The neural network has been trained on millions of botanical images, so it handles everything from common oaks to rare subtropical species. No manual keying required — just point, shoot, and know. Works in any lighting condition and handles partial specimens with remarkable accuracy.
10,000+ Species Library
Access detailed profiles for over ten thousand tree and plant species from North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond. Each profile includes botanical name, common names, native range, growth habits, typical height and spread, hardiness zones, ecological significance, and high-resolution reference images. Whether you are identifying a street tree in Brooklyn or a native fern in the Pacific Northwest, the database has you covered with reliable, botanist-verified information.
Leaf, Bark, Flower & Fruit ID
Most tree identification apps only work with leaves. My TreeID goes further. Identify trees by their bark texture in winter when leaves are gone, by their flowers in spring, or by their fruit and seeds in autumn. The multi-part identification system means you are never stuck waiting for the right season. Combine multiple photos of different parts for an even more precise match. This makes My TreeID the best tree ID app for year-round use.
Seasonal Identification Guides
Trees look dramatically different across seasons. My TreeID includes curated seasonal guides that show you what to look for in spring, summer, fall, and winter. Learn which trees bloom first, which hold their leaves longest, and how bark and bud characteristics change throughout the year. These guides transform you from a casual observer into a confident naturalist who can identify trees in any month, regardless of foliage.
Nature Journal
Log every tree you identify with photos, GPS location, notes, and date stamps. Your nature journal builds over time into a personal field guide of every species you have encountered. Tag observations with custom labels, track seasonal changes in specific trees, and revisit your favorite specimens. Whether you are a casual hiker, a student, or a professional arborist, the journal feature turns every walk into a meaningful record of the natural world around you.
Regional Tree Guides
Filter the species database by your region to see which trees grow near you. My TreeID includes regional guides for major North American ecoregions, European climate zones, and subtropical regions. Discover the most common trees in your neighborhood, learn about native vs. invasive species, and find out which trees are best for local wildlife. Regional filtering dramatically improves identification accuracy by narrowing down the AI results to geographically relevant matches.
How It Works
From mystery tree to confident identification in three simple steps. No botany degree required.
Take a Photo
Point your iPhone camera at any leaf, piece of bark, flower, or fruit. My TreeID works best with clear, close-up photos, but it handles partial specimens, distant shots, and mixed lighting conditions surprisingly well. You can also import existing photos from your camera roll if you saved one from a previous hike or walk. The AI accepts images of individual leaves, branch clusters, full canopy shots, and even dried specimens.
Get Your Identification
Within seconds, the AI returns a species match with a confidence score and up to three alternative possibilities. Each result links to a full species profile with botanical details, habitat information, fun facts, and high-resolution reference images so you can visually confirm the match yourself. If the confidence is lower, My TreeID suggests which additional photo (bark, flower, fruit) would help narrow the result to a definitive answer.
Save and Learn
Add the identification to your nature journal with one tap. The entry is automatically tagged with the species name, GPS coordinates, timestamp, and your original photo. Browse your journal to see every tree you have identified, track your species count, and revisit past sightings. Over time, you will build a personal botanical collection that reflects every trail, park, and neighborhood you have explored. Share entries with fellow nature enthusiasts or export your data for research projects.
Built for Every Nature Enthusiast
Whether you are a weekend hiker or a professional arborist, My TreeID adapts to how you explore the natural world.
Identify Trees on Every Trail
You pass dozens of tree species on every hike, and most of them remain anonymous. My TreeID changes that. Snap a photo mid-trail without breaking stride, and the AI identifies the species before you reach the next switchback. Build a running log of every species you encounter across different trails, parks, and elevations. The offline species profiles mean you can review identifications even when you are deep in the backcountry with no cell signal.
Learn Botany Through Exploration
Turn any outdoor walk into a hands-on botany lesson. My TreeID is used by biology students, environmental science classes, and homeschool families to make tree identification engaging and accessible. The detailed species profiles provide exactly the kind of information needed for field reports, research papers, and class presentations. Teachers use the nature journal feature to assign species-counting challenges that get students outdoors and learning through direct observation.
Know What Grows in Your Yard
You inherited a property with a dozen trees you cannot name. A neighbor planted something beautiful and you want the same thing. You spotted a suspicious-looking plant and need to know if it is invasive. My TreeID handles all of these. Identify every tree and shrub on your property, learn their care requirements, and make informed decisions about pruning, planting, and removal. The species profiles include hardiness zones and growth habits so you can plan your garden with confidence.
Quick Field Reference for Experts
Even experienced arborists encounter unfamiliar species on new job sites. My TreeID serves as a fast, reliable second opinion when you need confirmation in the field. The multi-part identification system is especially valuable when working on winter projects where only bark and buds are available. Use the nature journal to document site surveys, tag trees for clients, and maintain records of species assessments across multiple properties and seasons.
What Users Say
People who spend time outdoors trust My TreeID to name the world around them.
"I have tried four different tree identification apps, and this is the only one that correctly identified a shagbark hickory from a bark-only photo in January. The winter identification capability is a genuine differentiator. This is the best tree ID app I have used."
"My kids and I now identify every tree we see on our weekend hikes. We have logged over 80 species in the nature journal so far. It has completely changed how we experience trails. The plant identification is just as accurate as the tree ID."
"As an arborist, I use this for quick field confirmation. The species profiles are detailed enough for professional reference, and the photo journal is perfect for site documentation. Excellent tree identifier app — reliable and genuinely useful."
