Tree protection net is typically made of single-faced plastic, which protects the base of the trunk and keeps it dark, cool, and ideal for growth. Plastic sleeve tree guards are extremely simple because they are lightweight and highly customizable to any tree size. The obvious reason for using plastic tree protectors is to keep other wildlife out, such as rodents and rabbits. They also provide support during harsh weather conditions when young trees have weaker trunk strength; however, there are other important reasons to use plastic sleeve tree guards. The use of Tree protection net helps protect young or newly planted trees from winter sun damage caused by warm winter days followed by cold nights. Summer heat causes tree bark to expand, but freezing temperatures cause splitting. Regardless of the season, this splitting in the tree's bark can result in the burning or scalding of the newly exposed bark.
When properly installed, tree guards are most effective. When used with jute matting, they provide:
- UV protection.
- Protection from animals and bugs.
- Protection from wind damage.
- Protection from trampling/physical damage.
- Weed control.
Features:
- Made from recycled plastic
- Creates an ideal microclimate for young plant growth
- UV stabilized
- Scientifically proven to produce the best plant growth results
- Economical and cost-effective for large plantings
- Protects against spray drift and small animals
- Reusable for multiple planting seasons
Advantages:
- Common Sources of Tree Trunk Injury
- Rabbits and mice (like mice)
- Sun in the winter (sunscald, trunk splitting, etc.)
As winter approaches and other tender food sources become scarce, animals such as rabbits and mice chew tender young bark in desperation. This can cause tree girdling, which disrupts the vital vascular system that trees require to survive. If the branches of a tree are girdled, the damage can be pruned back, and the tree will live. Survival chances are low when the trunk is girdled. Rabbits have been known to wrap dozens of plants and trees in hours, proving that they are not underestimated. Tree guards assist by forming a barrier between the tender bark and foraging animals. Winter sun can also be harmful to a tree's trunk. In the winter, clear, sunny days are followed by colder nights.
On days like these, the bark of a tree will expand in the warmth of the sun, only to shrink dramatically in response to the temperature difference as the sun sets. This rapid expansion and contraction cause splitting in the bark, especially on the side of the tree that receives the most prolonged sun exposure. Sunscald (similar to sunburn) can affect trees in any season. Tree guards in cream-to-white colors help to reflect light and heat, reducing the amount of damage caused by the sun.
