Traditional vs vented tree shelters and which one to choose: 

Vented tree shelters are designed to allow air circulation, they typically have slits or vents along the sides or top of the shelter around the tree while still providing protection from herbivores and the elements. Vented tree shelters are often used in situations where air circulation is particularly important, such as in areas with high humidity or where trees are prone to pests or diseases that thrive in stagnant air.

Standard tree shelters, on the other hand, are solid, enclosing structures that provide a completely enclosed space around the tree. They offer a high level of protection from herbivores and the elements, but do not allow for air circulation. Standard tree shelters are often used in areas where herbivore damage is a major concern, or in situations where trees need to be protected from extreme weather conditions, such as high winds or extreme temperature fluctuations.

So, which type of tree shelter is best for you? It really depends on your specific needs and the conditions in your area. If you're planting trees in an area with high humidity or where pests and diseases are a concern, a vented tree shelter may be a good choice to help promote air circulation and reduce the risk of these problems.

On the other hand, if you're planting trees in an area with heavy herbivore pressure or extreme weather conditions, a standard tree shelter may be a better choice to provide the highest level of protection.

Ultimately, the decision between vented and standard tree shelters will depend on the specific needs of your trees and the conditions in your area. Both types of tree shelters can be effective in helping young trees grow and thrive, so it's important to consider your options carefully and choose the one that best meets your needs.

The science behind biodegradable tree shelters, understanding the process of biodegradation:

Vigilis-Bio Tree Shelters are 100% soil biodegradable. They are made from a blend of potatoes, wood and corn and a custom biodegradable polymer. The biodegradation process involves the breakdown of the polymer material into smaller, simpler compounds. This process typically occurs when the polymer is exposed to the elements and is broken down by microorganisms and the action of heat, moisture, and sunlight.

The rate at which a tree shelter breaks down will depend on factors such as the specific material used, the environmental conditions, and the presence of other substances.

By using a biodegradable tree shelter, you can protect your trees and help to minimize plastic waste in the forestry industry. Biodegradable tree shelters are a sustainable and environmentally friendly option that can be used to protect young trees as they grow.
