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 trees – 990 Indigenous and 136 Invasive/non-invasive aliens are listed, 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.
