The curatorial archive for a collection that outgrew a spreadsheet
Formal appraisal methodology, permanent provenance records, and an unlimited archive — built for the specimens you already know are worth documenting properly.
A collection worth appraising deserves records worth trusting
Beyond a handful of trees, a spreadsheet stops answering the questions that actually matter: what is this specimen worth today, what did it cost to bring to this stage, and can you prove any of it if you needed to. Kenara's Collector plan is built around those three questions specifically.
Formal Specimen Appraisal
A photograph-backed valuation worked to a documented methodology — sales comparison, cost and replacement.
Dendrochronological Age & Nebari Analysis
Multi-angle bark maturity, trunk taper and root-flare development analysis to estimate biological age.
Permanent Archival Provenance Records
Acquisition history, cost basis, exhibition record and certificate generation.
Unlimited Collection Capacity
Every specimen gets the same clinical diagnostic and record-keeping standard, from the first tree to the fiftieth.
