here an insight from Ross, who has been an expert in this fiield

Hi Donat,

That’s great news.

I think TreeSnatcher Plus is possibly the state of the art. But that was back in 2014… I don’t know if there’s anything better than this around. Or if TreeSnatcher Plus still works(!)

This isn’t easy work. You’ll need a lot of manual checking to get it right. It’s not just a button-click thing.
