TelemetreeContinuous root-plate monitoring
Weather tells you what the storm did.
Telemetree tells you what your tree did.
Protect your customers’ most valuable, irreplaceable trees with a continuous record of how their root plates respond to wind—not just a snapshot from the last inspection.
The pull test, reimagined
Every gust becomes a dynamic pull test.
A traditional mechanical pull test takes a specialized crew, a winch anchor, and a load cell to measure root-plate tilt during a single afternoon. Telemetree observes the tree’s response every time the wind blows.
A single sensor at the root flare records root-plate tilt. Paired with wind speed, those measurements form a structural response curve—updated after every windy day.
One sensor. At the root flare.
Measure root-plate movement where the tree meets the ground.
Wind supplies the load.
Correlate each tilt response with the wind that caused it.
A baseline that builds over time.
Compare each windy day with the tree’s own historical response.
Unprecedented sensor precision
Small movements. Meaningful measurements.
Subtle root-plate shifts demand extraordinary sensitivity. Telemetree’s sensor noise floor is ten times finer than a premium six-foot level.

Data that drives decisions
The storm passes. The record stays.
Every tree develops its own historical baseline. Granular storm-event records capture peak swings and settling, so you can compare a new response with the one you’ve come to expect.
We provide the signals.
You make the final call.
If a tree’s response curve steepens significantly over a 60-day period, Telemetree flags a “significant stability change” and recommends a site visit. It’s a prompt for your professional assessment—not a replacement for it.
Continuous monitoring helps surface long-term structural changes between inspections, giving you a clearer basis for deciding what happens next.
Storm Scout · Area-wide triage
By sunrise, know where to go first.
Track monitored trees and passing storm cells across your clients’ properties. After severe weather, a prioritized triage list helps arborists and urban foresters focus their first visits.
Critical
Severe anomalies, such as a permanent shift in resting lean.
Warning
Gust responses significantly above the tree’s normal baseline.
Check
A sensor may be offline and needs a physical check.
