 VII. CONCLUSION

In conclusion, the development of an IoT-

based tree monitoring system along with smart
irrigation is crucial in ensuring the health and
well-being of trees. Trees play a vital role in
the environment and human well-being, and it
is essential to monitor their health to prevent
the spread of diseases, and environmental
damage. It can be a valuable tool for cities and
organizations looking to preserve and maintain
their urban forests, leading to a more
sustainable and healthier environment.
