A free, expert-reviewed encyclopedia dedicated to sharing the wonder and wisdom of the world's trees with everyone — from curious beginners to professional botanists.
Treezpedia was founded on a simple belief: the natural world belongs to everyone, and knowledge about it should be free, accurate, and beautiful. Trees are the lungs of our planet, the backbone of ecosystems, and the living archives of human history — yet the science and stories surrounding them are often locked behind paywalls or buried in academic journals inaccessible to most people.
We set out to change that. Every profile on Treezpedia is researched using peer-reviewed botanical literature, ethnobotanical field notes, and traditional ecological knowledge. Our writing team includes certified arborists, trained botanists, conservation biologists, and natural history writers who are passionate about making science accessible without sacrificing accuracy.
Whether you are choosing a fruit tree for your backyard, studying for a forestry exam, investigating herbal medicine, or simply admiring a tree in your local park and wondering what it is — Treezpedia is here for you. Always free. Always growing.
Our small, dedicated team brings together decades of botanical expertise, fieldwork experience, and a deep passion for tree conservation.
Lead Botanist & Co-Founder
With a PhD in tropical forest ecology from the University of Delhi and 15 years of field research across South and Southeast Asia, Priya leads our species research program and ensures every profile meets rigorous scientific standards. She has documented over 120 tree species across India and Sri Lanka.
Senior Arborist & UK Editor
A Fellow of the Arboricultural Association with 20 years of experience managing heritage woodlands across England and Wales, James brings unparalleled practical knowledge of temperate tree species, soil science, and conservation management to Treezpedia's European content.
Conservation Writer & Africa Editor
A prize-winning natural history writer and conservation advocate based in Accra, Amara specializes in African tree species, ethnobotany, and the intersection of traditional knowledge with modern conservation science. Her work has appeared in BBC Wildlife Magazine and Nature Africa.
Three principles guide everything we publish, every decision we make, and every tree we document.
Every fact, measurement, and claim in our species profiles is verified against peer-reviewed scientific literature. We cite our sources, acknowledge uncertainty, and update content when new research emerges. Science changes, and so do we.
Botanical knowledge should not require a university subscription. Treezpedia is entirely free, will never introduce paywalls, and is designed to be readable by anyone — from primary school students to PhD researchers — without sacrificing scientific rigor.
We believe that knowledge inspires care. By helping people understand the ecological, cultural, and economic value of trees, we hope to foster a deeper commitment to protecting forests, urban greenery, and individual tree species from threats posed by climate change and habitat loss.
