Our Journey

From idea to real-world validation.

TreeBud is now being trialled in live planting environments with organisations across forestry, local government and land management. Our commercial pilot programme is designed to validate long-term performance across different sites and conditions, while giving partners a practical route to test tie-free, biodegradable tree protection before wider adoption. Each pilot also feeds directly into product development, helping us refine TreeBud through real-world use as we move towards broader commercial adoption.

Structural integrity

Tree establishment

Material behaviour

User experience

Commercial viability

As evidence becomes available, we intend to publish appropriate results, including a pilot case study.
