One tree, 1.35 million points

A park oak in Manchester, UK, from public research data, recorded as 1,348,600 points. Read with the ROOTRIX method: height 17.5 m (ground to treetop), crown width 12.4 m (mean of the widest and narrowest spread), DBH 60 cm (trunk diameter 1.2 m above the ground). In Korean spec notation: oak H17.5×W12.4×B60. Sources in notes 1 and 2

Standard

Many ways to write it, one standard

The same tree is named and specified differently from one nursery to the next. ROOTRIX maps every notation to one standard, so inventory and quotes speak the same language.

Seven ways nurseries write it

  • Zelkova R15 H4
  • zelkova (root collar 15, ht 4)
  • ZELKOVA r15 h4.0
  • Zelk. RC15 4m
  • Zelkova 15R 4H
  • zelkova 15 cm, 4 meters
  • Zelk.(R15) 4M

Record

In use

What you see at the nursery, on the quote

Quotes carry real photos and specs taken at the nursery. You check them before you order, and the same record is used for acceptance inspection on delivery.

Tree quote (Sample)

  • Pine 1 tree
  • H8.0×W6.0×R40
  • Real photo attached
  • Acceptance checks: Specs, Form, Delivery date, Quantity, Transit damage

Research

Seeing wider, measuring closer

We continue to develop satellite mapping of nurseries and LiDAR measurement. The results so far are validated through patents and government programs.

Notes

  1. 1Public research data example: Davenport and Carr (2024), "Terrestrial LiDAR data for article Intra- and interspecific variations in allometry in rural and urban trees", Zenodo (zenodo.org/records/10817201), licensed CC BY 4.0 (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0). An oak in South Park, Manchester, UK, recorded in January 2023 with terrestrial LiDAR (a scanner set on the ground that records its surroundings as laser points) as 1,348,600 points. On screen, a subset (500,000 on desktop, 220,000 on phones) is shown, re-centered on the stem and colored by height.
  2. 2Height, crown width and DBH are computed from the point cloud in note 1 with the ROOTRIX measurement method. Crown width is the mean of the longest (14.7 m) and shortest (10.2 m) widths (Korean landscape design standard), and DBH is the trunk diameter 1.2 m above the ground, the Korean standard (1.3 m in most other countries).
