Counting trees in nursery rows, orchards and plantations

Trees are counted by nurseries taking inventory of saplings by species, by orchards and plantations taking stock from a high angle or a drone, by planting schemes verifying what went in the ground, and between seasons to record survival. The count works when each tree has its own canopy or stem in the photo; where canopies merge into one cover, as in natural woodland, the result is an estimate.

For orchards and plantations, a straight-down drone photo shows each canopy as a distinct round shape. Fly the same height over every block so one photo covers a known area, and shoot near midday, since long morning shadows can look like extra trees. In a nursery, photograph rows from the end at a high angle so stems do not hide each other. Young trees inside tree guards look like posts from above, so mark one guarded tree as the example in Similar items.

Block by block, check the markers and add each block as its own tally row. Fruit on the trees is counted by the fruit counter, smaller stock by the plant counter, and other drone surveys over the same site, such as vehicles in a yard, follow the same overhead method.

Tree survey checks

  • Straight-down drone photo for orchards and plantations
  • The same flying height for every block
  • Midday light to keep shadows short
  • One block per tally row

Frequently asked questions

How do I count long rows or beds?
Photograph one bed or section at a time from as high an angle as practical, keep rows in focus, then review and correct each result before adding it to the tally sheet. Marked photos support review but are not proof of physical quantity.
Can it count trees from a drone photo?
Yes — top-down orchard and plantation shots where each canopy is distinct count well. For dense natural forest where canopies merge, treat the result as an estimate and count section by section.
What if the photo has more than just trees in it?
Auto mode uses the selected item name to find what to count. For a guided recount, mark one complete, clearly visible trees — up to 3 examples for different-looking kinds. Similar-looking distractors can still affect the result, so review every marker before using the total.
Can I count several photos into one total?
Yes — count each photo and add every reviewed result to the tally sheet as a labelled row. If you use example boxes, mark them separately on each photo. Export the tally as CSV or a PDF report, or save it to your account.
Is it free and private?
Yes. You can count, review and download a free result without an account. Downloads are free without a watermark. No signup required. Server-processed photos are encrypted in transit and removed under our Security policy.

How Fruit Counter helps you get it done

Real problems it solves every day — for businesses, creators, and everyday tasks. Find the use case that fits you and start.

For Business

Harvest Day Yield Tracking

Open Bulk audit to run Distinct objects mode across every crate photo, then review every result before comparing the running total with last season.

For E-commerce

Farmers' Market & Roadside Stall Stock

Run Similar items mode on one fruit type before opening and again at close, then review and correct both tallies before using their difference as a sales estimate.

Research

Orchard Sampling for Yield Estimates

Photograph a well-lit section of canopy and let the AI count visible fruit as a sampling method, using the Detection sensitivity slider to tune for partially hidden fruit when estimating a full orchard's yield.

For Business

Packhouse Grading & Crate Review

Mark 1-3 example fruit in the Examples setting — one per variety in the crate — and use the Similar items result as a draft before a crate is sealed. Then inspect the physical crate and correct misses or duplicates before packhouse sign-off.

Legal

Wholesale Delivery Count Review

Use the marked image to review an AI-assisted delivery draft, compare it with a qualified manual or physical count, and save the corrected tally with normal delivery records. The image is not proof of quantity by itself.

Personal Use

Home Garden Harvest Counting

Photograph a basket of home-grown tomatoes, apples or berries at pick time for a harvest estimate, then review and correct the markers before adding a tally row for the season.
