PET Reflective Film for Fruit Orchards

Why Use PET Reflective Film?

Fruit color is affected by sunlight. When fruit gets less light, it may not develop color as well.

After the film is laid, sunlight can reflect from the ground to the lower parts of the tree. This is useful for fruits that are covered by leaves or grow in shaded areas. The result depends on the fruit variety and growing conditions.

Suitable for Different Fruit Orchards

Apples

Some apples are red on one side but green on the other. This can happen when one side gets less sunlight. Reflective film helps send more light to the lower and inner parts of the tree.

Cherries

Cherries need enough light to develop good red color. If the fruit grows under leaves, the color may be uneven. Reflective film helps reflect sunlight toward these areas.

Grapes

In some vineyards, leaves cover the grape clusters and block sunlight. Reflective film can send more light back toward the vines. Its effect depends on the grape variety and how the vines are grown.

How to Use the Film

The film is usually laid on the ground between tree rows before harvest. For apples, some growers lay it about 30–45 days before picking. For other fruits, the timing depends on the variety and local growing conditions.

Keep the film flat and fix the edges to stop the wind from lifting it.
