Street and avenue trees often suffer from negative influences such as pollution, road salt, and collision damage. Independent research has shown that the biodegradable ArboTape wound care film effectively accelerates the healing process of tree wounds.
In recent decades, opaque black film has often been used in tree care to treat fresh wounds. However, these products were not biodegradable and had to be removed afterwards. ArboTape is made from compostable materials, making it 100% biodegradable. The ArboTape wound care film has been thoroughly researched at the Hamburg Institute for Tree Care, and the researchers recommend this solution for the quick recovery of tree wounds.
Wounds caused by collisions still contain living cells. When these cells are protected from external influences, new tissue can quickly form. How quickly this process starts depends on how soon the film is applied and the tree species.
The remaining living cells are extremely sensitive to external influences after a collision. Therefore, a fresh wound should be sealed with ArboTape as soon as possible. It is recommended to apply the film within a few days; otherwise, the remaining cells may die or, at the very least, suffer serious damage.
In an independent study by the Institute for Tree Care, various trees, from maples to ashes, were examined. In this study, researchers created wounds on several trees and then covered them with wound protection films. After 4 and 10 months, checks were carried out on the healing process. The study demonstrated the positive effect of a film for faster wound healing. It also clearly showed that the ArboTape wound protection film performs better than conventional non-biodegradable films.
