I'd concurrently maintained an updated orchard map on paper or in the
computer.
I have a number of pear and persimmon varieties that are now 'unidentified',
thanks to the hooved rats.
Old aluminum venetian blinds, with baked-on enamel coating, can be scribed
with a nail to make a very durable tag. When I can remember to do so, I
usually try to bury one in the mulch at the base of the tree, on its north
side, in addition to one hung in the tree with 16 ga. aluminum wire.
