Probably the most influential way you can ensure that your garden plants, shrubs and trees thrive and grow well in your landscape garden is protection and possibly the most important type of protection required is protection. against wind damage. Virtually all trees and shrubs growing in your yard can be seriously, even fatally, damaged by high winds in a variety of ways. One of the incredibly effective ways you can greatly reduce wind damage is by installing windbreak netting around boundaries and using tree shelters on all of your youngest trees.
The use of tree shelters can drastically reduce, or even completely stop, any wind damage to leaves, buds, and fresh shoots. These incredibly useful contraptions can create a full or partial windbreak (nets reduce the speed and ferocity of the wind, but not its direction, while tree shelters, especially the circular/round types, will deflect the flow). As the wind blows the trees back and forth, it can damage the roots, especially the very fine and important fibrous roots. Coupled with the fact that wind can also increase osmosis, trees left exposed to that weather can severely dehydrate very quickly.
Tree shelters are incredibly low-priced items of lawn equipment, so why cut corners? You really should consider the fact that it will most likely be much more expensive in the long run if you don’t use them to protect your trees (which can be very expensive to replace). Unfortunately, protecting any tree species in severely exposed locations can be extremely difficult and you will most likely find that the only effective protection would be the use of tree shelters and windbreak nets.
Within the tree shelter is a wonderful environment that encourages rapid, high-quality growth, with trees often growing at a rate six times faster than those without shelter. Twin wall tree shelters offer the perfect level of insulation to ensure a more stable temperature, and with enough light to further warm the air, trees grow stronger stems and trunks with few side shoots.
Almost all tree shelters, whether light or heavy, are made from an incredibly strong and durable type of opaque or transparent polyethylene, resulting in products that are considerably lighter than those made from an alternative substance. Because they are mass produced items and the material used is plentiful and not very expensive, it costs very little to buy a large number of shelters, another factor in keeping the price down is that they are really easy to package, resulting in a transport what is easy. and cheap, even heavy models are light.
If you have chosen to live in a coastal location, you will soon discover that tree shelters are also a great solution to the annoying problem of salt damage. Protecting against salt damage is more than likely the only way to ensure that some tree species flourish in your vicinity. Windbreak netting is also a cool and easy way to increase protection against salt damage. Windbreak nets are also good for reducing sunlight in very bright positions, as they restrict sunlight by 40 to 50 percent.
Windbreak netting and tree shelters are also required if you live in a neighborhood where animals are a problem. Tree shelters will stop any damage from foraging animals such as rabbits, deer, and the like. Coiled types have been designed for this reason and are probably the best option. Windbreak nets are unlikely to stop rabbits because they are usually made of polyethylene mesh, but they will most likely stop other critters.
