Why Bladwijzer
Getting to know trees, and looking after them well
You see a tree and wonder what it is. You plant a hedge and can’t remember when to prune it. Bladwijzer brings identifying, remembering and caring together in one place.
-
Identify your way
With a photo (ObsIdentify by Naturalis, and Pl@ntNet) or calmly, step by step, with an identification key that also works without internet.
Identify from a photo -
Remember what you found
Every tree you identify goes into your own guide: with photos, date and place, a map, a timeline and a booklet to print.

How it works
Made for Belgium and the Netherlands
The 144 species in the keys are the trees, shrubs, hedges and climbers you really come across here: in the woods, in the park, along the street and in your garden. Names and status follow waarnemingen.be, plot boundaries come from the Belgian and Dutch land registries, and aerial photos from Digitaal Vlaanderen, Wallonia and PDOK.
Advice you can use
Every species page tells you not only how to recognise the tree, but also what you can do with it and how and when to prune it. Want to plant something? Will it fit here? tells you whether the light, the soil, the space and the neighbours are right. The pruning calendar shows what is due each month, with the basic rules for good pruning and the nesting season.
