Zusammenfassung:There is described an apparatus (100) for monitoring a health status of a tree (TR) comprising sensors (10A, 10B) configured to perform measurements of parameters indicative of the health status of the tree (TR) and a processing system (110, 115) configured to process the measurements provided by the sensors (10A, 10B). The sensors (10A, 10B) include at least a multispectral sensor (10A) to carry out optical measurements on a foliage (FO) of the tree (TR), which multispectral sensor (10A) is capable of taking optical measurements in the visible spectrum and the near infrared (NIR) spectrum. The apparatus (100) is configured to compute a Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) of the relevant tree (TR) based on the optical measurements carried out by the multispectral sensor (10A).
