How clutter happens.

Here's a gadget that I don't need but sorely want!  It's for measuring the diameter of trees, useful for determining whether a tree can be rightfully called a champion or heritage tree.  How often would I use it?  At least once, I suppose.

Would work for little trees (the majority of urban trees, which have an average life span of 5-10 years, as I understand it) but I'm curious about some of the big red oaks and european beeches in the parks near my house. Those tailor tapes seem to come in a standart 60 inch/150 cm length.

Plus you're expecting me to figure out how to use an app on my phone, which is worse than expecting me to do math! :P
