## Description
<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
Add minimum stem count threshold before using rayon parallelization to reduce overhead for small trees
<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->
## Implementation Notes
<!-- SECTION:NOTES:BEGIN -->
Added PARALLEL_STEM_THRESHOLD constant (100 stems). Sequential processing used below threshold to avoid rayon overhead.
