Jute Wrap
The biodegradable jute wrap offers natural and sustainable protection for the tree trunk against damage from sunburn, frost, or work activities.
Preventing Bark Damage
To prevent bark damage, it is important to take action when a tree shows signs of sunburn. This indicates damage caused by intense sunlight, high ambient temperatures, or drought stress.
Natural Cooling of the Tree
When sunburn occurs, a tree loses its natural ability to cool itself. In this situation, the bark temperature can rise above 40ºC, leading to tissue necrosis. This results in dry strips of bark on the sun-exposed side of the trunk, which may eventually crack open, causing bark splits and exposing sapwood.
Beech and Linden Trees
Beech and linden trees are particularly prone to showing signs of sunburn when their trunks are suddenly exposed to sunlight. This can happen after replanting or intense crown pruning. By wrapping the trunk with jute wrap, sunburn can be prevented.
Changing Light Intensity
The jute wrap can also be used for trees that are exposed to a change in light intensity, for example, due to the felling of surrounding trees or the demolition of a nearby building. As jute decomposes slowly, the bark is given enough time to adapt to the new light conditions.
