Drone tree inventory · Christmas trees
Astova flies your plantation with a survey drone and delivers the number of trees per parcel, the height of every tree in your size classes, and a map you can open on your phone. Results are typically ready within 48 hours of the flight.
Proven on a real field
This is an actual plantation we flew, with all 7,224 trees measured. Move around it, zoom in, and tap any tree to see its number and its height.
Drag to move around. Use + and − to zoom. Tap any tree for its number and height.
Every circle is one tree, coloured by its measured height class. Real result from a field in Limburg, 2026.
What you receive
The number of trees per parcel and for the whole field, with the gaps visible on the map.
Each tree sorted into your size classes, for example 150 to 175 cm, with the number per class and per parcel.
Zoom into the aerial photo, tap a tree for its number and height, switch classes on and off, look up a tree number.
A few pages you can share with buyers, your trader or your bank, plus an Excel list with the position, height and class of every tree.
Who it is for
Know before the season how many saleable trees you have per size. Plan cutting and pre-sales on real numbers, not on planting records from years ago.
An independent count and size mix before you buy a field standing. No more estimates from a walk around the edge.
Check the size mix you are paying for, and plan pallets and lorries on measured numbers.
How it works
We fly the field with a survey drone. A small field takes about half an hour.
The photos become a 3D model in which every tree is found and measured. We check a number of trees with a tape in your own field.
Typically within 48 hours you receive the map, the report and the list.
In the field
The map opens on any phone, with no app to install. Stand in the crop, tap the tree in front of you, or search a tree number and walk straight to it.
How accurate
Heights are taken from the soil at the stem to half the leader, the way growers measure. On our first field, 18 trees measured with a tape agreed with the drone within 15 cm, with a typical difference of 11 cm. Every report states the accuracy measured in your own field, so you know what the numbers are worth.
