Probably the most influential way that you can ensure that your garden plants, shrubs and trees thrive and grow well in your landscaped garden is protection, and possibly the most important type of protection that is required is protection. against wind damage. Virtually all trees and shrubs growing in your yard can be seriously damaged, even fatally, by high winds in a variety of ways. One of the incredibly effective ways that you can greatly reduce wind damage is by installing windbreak netting around the edges and using tree shelters on all of your younger 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 gadgets 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 divert 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 become severely dehydrated very quickly.
Tree shelters are incredibly low-priced items of garden equipment, so why cut corners? You should really consider the fact that it will most likely turn out to 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 species of tree 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 netting.
Within the tree shelter is a wonderful environment that encourages fast, high-quality growth, with trees often growing at six times the rate of those without shelter. Twin-walled 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 with stronger stems and trunks with few side shoots.
Nearly all tree shelters, whether light or heavy, are made from an incredibly strong and durable opaque or clear type of 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 pack, resulting in transport what is easy. and cheap, even the 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 will flourish in your vicinity. Wind 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 forty to fifty percent.
Windbreaks and tree shelters are also required if you live in a neighborhood where animals are a problem. Tree shelters will stop any damage caused by foraging animals such as rabbits, deer and the like. Spiral type was designed for this reason and is 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.
