Transport

The ARBOTRADE biodegradable Tree Shelter is delivered flat to save space. With a weight of approximately 260 g, many Tree Shelters can be transported at once. The material is both strong and flexible and requires no special handling.

Internal climate

The closed structure of the ARBOTRADE biodegradable Tree Shelter creates a growth-promoting internal climate. Ventilation holes prevent the plants from overheating.

Development

The biodegradable ARBOTRADE Tree Shelter was developed in collaboration with the University of Applied Forest Sciences Rottenburg as part of the „TheForestCleanup“ research project.

Assembling the Tree Shelter in four steps

  1. Transportation

Due to its light weight, the ARBOTRADE Tree Shelter can be transported to the stands in large numbers.

  1. Shaping into round form

The tabs are pressed into the holes from the outside to form the Tree Shelter into a round shape.

  1. Attaching cable ties loosely

The ARBOTRADE Cable Ties are threaded through the holes provided and tightened loosely.

Tip:
We recommend that you prepare several shelters up to step 3 and then attach them to the seedling in step 4.

  1. Attaching the Tree Shelter

Position the Tree Shelter over the seedling and thread the cable ties over the support post and tighten them securely. The zip ties will now hold the Tree Shelter in its round shape and secure it to the support post.
