TheTreeApp is an interactive experience!
Make 2020 the year of tree-discovery for yourself, and you could include your family and friends.
How it Works
TheTreeApp is a sophisticated tool for smart phones and tablets to identify indigenous and invasive, alien South African trees. You can choose your location to reduce the Tree List from 1100 to the actual number that grow there naturally.

Location Based Sorting
Tree Searches can be significantly refined, by using the Location function to reduce the list of trees to just those recorded as occurring within a radius of 12,5 km of the spot.
Intelligent Search Functionality
The intelligent Search process is driven by a highly complex, matrix of data that is not a simple HTML word search as in eBooks.
Tree List
Over 1 100 tree species – growing to over 3 m high, within South Africa – are covered. There are 990 Indigenous and 136 Invasive/non-invasive aliens, each one with comprehensive textual data, as well as images and distribution maps.
Help
InfoHotSpots are the educational go-to Help destinations, throughout TheTreeApp, which provide the links between the data required for the Search categories and the User’s understanding. View the Help Index.
Glossary
The 700 word Glossary covers most of the common words used in general Tree publications as well as defining the words specifically used in TheTreeApp.
Settings
This section allow the user to choose between Botanical, English and Afrikaans as Primary and Secondary languages of names for the Tree Lists, as well as determining the method of grouping the names as alphabetical, by Families or by Genera.
My Trees
This allows the recording of individual, personal tree sightings, by means of typed-up notes that include the date when the tree was seen and the exact map reference.
