    Looking at buying a property and was wondering if there are any tools like google maps but better which can show an Aerial view of the number of trees at a block of land remotely.

    You can switch google maps to “satellite view” and that will give you some indication… but I’m not aware of any special resource, It is not like trees have to be “registered “

    You'd need a high resolution aerial map from the likes of Nearmap.... and more relevantly the desire to pay for it.

    I suspect it would be cheaper to travel to the block and stand in the field with an abacus however.

    Detail on free mapping services is pretty low especially in the bush. Is this a 600m² block or 600 acre property?

    If you've used a buyer's agent or directly thru an agency get them to provide more pictures or a count, possibly send a handyman, surveyor, an arborist or their offsider.
