Plaque Specs & Tree-Friendly Mounting

Understanding plaque dimensions, anodized aluminium longevity, and arborist-grade mounting.

Three Standard Plaque Dimensions

🏷️ Compact Tree Tag (S/M-Tag)

32×38mm / 29×50mm

Optimal for direct trunk mounting on mature trees in arboretums and forest reserves. Features rapid-scan QR, binomial, family, and local names.

📋 Standard Botanical Sign (L-Sign)

89×51 mm (3.5" × 2.0")

Our most versatile size. Mountable on ground stakes or tree trunks. Supports agency logos, bilingual naming, and herbal usage summaries.

🏛️ Interpretive Landmark Sign (XL-Sign)

121×85 mm (4.75" × 3.35")

Ideal for trailheads and national heritage trees. Highlights IUCN Red List conservation badges, 8-language audio badges, GPS zones, and donor branding.

Tree-Friendly Mounting (Arborist Standards)

Mounting plaques to living trees must never damage the cambium or restrict trunk girth expansion. LeafQuest employs certified hardware:

🔩 Tree Spring Screw Kits

Crafted from marine-grade 316 stainless steel with compression springs and nylon washers. As the trunk expands over decades, the spring relaxes outwards naturally without swallowing or buckling the plaque.

🌱 45° Angled Metal Ground Stakes

20-inch rust-resistant powder-coated stakes. The 45-degree angled head positions the QR code at optimal eye level for standing visitors beside shrub beds and herb borders.
