<p>I agree with Peter. </p>
<p>No tags is a recipe for disaster as many other people will not
have access to GIS and even a scaled survey plan is often
confusing when there are dozens of trees. A well placed tag on a 4
inch long nail set in to the tree by one inch allows for lots of
growth, and with the tag at the end of the nail, it will last for
maybe ten years (assuming the squirrels don't attack it) - often
the length of time between starting a project and getting to
completion on the west coast. <br>
