TreeSmith is the plant app built for collectors, propagators and orchard keepers, not just houseplant care. Track every graft, scion, photo and activity for every plant in your collection, and pin them to an interactive GPS map of your garden. WHY COLLECTORS CHOOSE TREESMITH Most plant apps assume you have ten succulents and forget to water them. TreeSmith assumes you have a hundred fruit trees, know exactly when each one was grafted, and want to remember which rootstock came from where. GRAFT TRACKING Record each graft with its own photos, scion source, rootstock, date and status. Search by source nursery, cultivar or year. The feature serious propagators have been asking plant apps for, for years. PHOTO JOURNAL Capture growth over time. Photos auto-organise by stage: flowering, fruiting, harvest and beyond. Look back across seasons in a single tap. ACTIVITY LOG Watering, fertilising, pruning, repotting, pest treatments, pollination, harvesting. Log what you did, when, and on which plant. Build a real record instead of relying on memory. GPS GARDEN MAP Drop every plant on an interactive map of your garden. Reposition by tap. Find that one cultivar you planted last winter without walking the whole block. CATALOGUE PROPERLY Scientific names, common names, source nursery, acquisition date, status and notes. Export everything to CSV or JSON whenever you want. Your data stays yours. FREE OR PRO Free: up to 30 plants, one location, photos, activity log, GPS map, local backup and export. Pro, a one-time purchase: unlimited plants, multiple locations, reminders and bulk operations. Cloud Backup is an optional yearly subscription that requires Pro: automatic backups and restore on a new device. Invited members of partner gardening clubs unlock Pro automatically when they sign in. BUILT BY AND FOR THE RARE FRUIT COMMUNITY TreeSmith is built by a Perth rare-fruit grower and shaped by feedback from collectors who actually use it. If you have ever wished a plant app understood what a scion exchange was, this one does. Get TreeSmith free, add your collection, and never lose track of a graft again. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Cloud Backup is a yearly auto-renewing subscription (A$9.99/year in Australia, prices vary by region and are shown in the app before you buy). It requires TreeSmith Pro, a separate one-time purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. Terms of Use (EULA): https://treesmith.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://treesmith.app/privacy
