  Loggers should be called arbortionists.

  Wrap the measuring tape until the entire branch is wrapped. For more accurate measurements, use thinner tape.

    4.1 inches is 10.4cm

    7 inches is 17.8cm

  Probably from the side tbh as opposed to either of these two

  Measure from the taint and add an extra inch to the measurement for standard wood shrinkage.

  It’s method b both for tree branches and for appendages of different creatures

  Average them?

  Woah wait… Can we solve the measuring crisis but just measuring from the trunk at the top and all the way across then wrapping around the exposed end and back down the length on the bottom to the next obstruction?

  Wouldnt that then include the width in your overall measurement and everyone would be generally impressed at any dimension?

  Nevermind the measurement. How are you going to use the branch?

  They are using the wrong measuring unit, instead they should measure the force needed to pull it level.

    You’re saying rigidity/turgidity trump sheer length and girth?

      Most arborists prefer branches that can handle the load, and avoid sagging branches or ones that snap off.

  Bend it straight, then measure

  Take the average

  Down to the root

    Measure from your feet, all the way up your legs, to the tip of your erect shaft, you say?

  What is your tree normally goes straight out with a cut l downward curve? The measurements are the same either way…

  source
• Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Diameter obviously. But also, the bottom line is going into trunk wood so obviously wrong.

  I had just gotten out of the pool!

    There was shrinkage!

  …arborists use neither method: DBH is the orthodoxy for tree measurements, diameter at breast height…
