Tree care professionals help trees grow old
As a tree care professional, you carry responsibility for the condition of trees. A good condition today means a vital tree tomorrow.
Recognise this?
Monitoring trees is usually a temporary matter. A few months to a few years at most.
Working out a system configuration and keeping everything running is just outside your comfort zone.
Different project staff and external stakeholders in every project.
Every month it takes time and energy to share all the information transparently with everyone.
The trees in your care are geographically spread out.
The kilometres add up and time flies by in traffic jams. But when you haven't stopped by, that nagging feeling sets in.
What is expected of you?
Monitoring plantings for maximum survival rate
Impact of site improvement for investment decisions
Monitoring tree condition during construction work to preserve valuable trees
How does PlantData Live help?
Always know immediately when a tree is under water stress
You get an alert as soon as a tree deviates from its normal pattern — often days before anything shows in the crown.
Manage irrigation across multiple locations
Track and control the watering of all your trees remotely, from a single online cockpit — without having to be everywhere at once.
Assess whether a growing site can be improved
Objectively measure how a tree responds to its site, and back up interventions and investment decisions with data.
Case study: early detection of drought stress
The goal is to always know in time that a tree needs care. Yet a visual inspection can give no warning signal for up to two weeks, while the tree is already suffering.
A sports watch measures your personal condition at any moment of the day. Condition expresses how well an organism can take a knock. It is no different for trees. And PlantData Live lets me measure the condition of the trees in my care, remotely.
Tree care professional Bert Janssens sums it up neatly: the trunk diameter tells the story the crown still keeps quiet. During the day the trunk shrinks through transpiration, at night it recovers — and from that daily shrinking and growth you read water stress in the growth dynamics, often before it becomes visible in the crown. Right at the moment when intervening still pays off.
