Here various methods of height measuring are described from the most accurate to the least accurate.Īt Monumental Trees we recommend direct tape drop or the sine method as the most accurate and reliable. However these methods can still result in large errors. Instruments called hypsometers often perform these two measurements and calculate from them the height of the tree.
The latter can be measured with a clinometer. Professional foresters however have, for decades, used methods based on measuring the distance from the observer to the trunk and the angle to the top. Many people try it with simple estimation techniques like the stick method, the lumberjack method or another easy method to get a rough estimate of the height of a tree. Measuring the height of trees is more difficult than measuring diameter or girth.
