Is it worth it to use to determine tree vitality and health?

 

Looks very interesting, whats your opinion.

In my opinion this little piece of diagnostic kit is a great leap forward for tree care. I'm intending to buy one soon. However, I think any purchaser of this kit needs to spend some time preparing the way for its use - because this is a new innovation not many people are asking for it so the benefits really need to be sold to clients!

 

I gather that it will detect stress up to 3 weeks before the tree/plant gives any visual symptoms e.g wilting, yellowing of leaves.

 

I can see it having particularly good use in monitoring and maintaining newly planted trees which currently have a horrendous failure rate of about 1 in 4. There are numerous factors that lead to this situation, but an aid in assessing the health of newly purchased trees and then monitoring their health once planted would certainly help.

Paul wouldn't nearly all container grown and newly planted trees show up as being stressed? Do you thinķ this device has an application for assessing mature trees? I wonder if the app will work with trees here in the tropics
