Biodegradable Tree Shelter
Sustainable Tree Protection for a Greener Future
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in forestry, woodland creation, nature restoration, and landscape management. Choosing the right tree species and planting material is only part of creating successful landscapes—the way young trees are protected is equally important. A Biodegradable Tree Shelter is the ideal solution for projects that prioritise environmental responsibility.
The Wooden Tree Shelter from Laxsjon Plants has been developed as a natural alternative to traditional plastic tree shelters. During the vulnerable establishment phase, it provides reliable protection against browsing damage and other external threats. Once the tree no longer requires protection, the natural materials gradually biodegrade, leaving no plastic waste behind and, in many cases, eliminating the need for removal.
Whether you are involved in forestry, woodland creation, municipal planting schemes, nature restoration, or landscape management, a biodegradable tree shelter contributes to a more sustainable and future-proof outdoor environment.
Why Choose a Biodegradable Tree Shelter?
More organisations are looking for tree protection solutions that combine reliable performance with sustainable land management. A biodegradable tree shelter offers exactly that.
It protects young trees during the period when they are most vulnerable while avoiding the need to collect and dispose of plastic tree shelters once they are no longer required. This reduces maintenance, minimises waste, and supports environmentally responsible landscape management.
A wooden tree shelter also offers a natural appearance. In forests, parks, estates, and natural landscapes, timber blends far better with the surroundings than plastic, allowing the shelter to integrate naturally into the environment.

Made from Natural Materials
The Biodegradable Tree Shelter from Laxsjon Plants is manufactured from carefully selected natural materials that combine strength, durability, and environmental responsibility.
The shelter consists of 4 mm untreated wooden shingles sourced from responsibly managed forests. This timber thickness provides an excellent balance between strength and flexibility, ensuring reliable protection while maintaining an open structure that allows sufficient light and airflow for healthy tree development.
The wooden shingles are securely connected using a woven natural jute band. Jute is a strong natural fibre that performs exceptionally well in outdoor environments and naturally biodegrades over time.
The construction is completed using metal staples that are free from heavy metals, ensuring long-lasting stability while maintaining the product's sustainable character.
Reliable Protection for Young Trees
A biodegradable tree shelter must offer more than environmental benefits—it must also provide dependable protection.
The Wooden Tree Shelter helps protect young trees against browsing damage while supporting healthy development during the critical establishment phase. Its open construction allows continuous airflow and natural daylight to reach the tree, creating a healthy microclimate for strong growth.
The shelter is available in 120 cm and 180 cm heights, providing suitable protection for a wide range of planting projects.

A Natural Choice for Sustainable Forestry and Nature Projects
Successful nature restoration is about more than planting trees. Healthy forests begin with quality planting material, effective protection during the early years, and sustainable products that minimise environmental impact.
For this reason, Laxsjon Plants supplies not only Biodegradable Tree Shelters, but also Tree Seeds, Native Seeds, and Wildflower and Flora Mixtures. Together, these products help create biodiverse landscapes, climate-resilient forests, and successful ecological restoration projects.
Where an alternative type of tree protection is more suitable, Laxsjon Plants also offers the Anti-Knabb® Tree Protector.
