Yes and no . Black plastic is hotter and better perhaps for ground stills , but you will get better results using clear plastic for a tree still . The living plant perspires less at night , and the black bags , creates a fake night for the plant , so clear plastic actually works better for a tree still , giving more water ! Also the bigger the bag , and number of bags makes a difference . The best ones Iv found are the ones that come wrapped around a new bed mattress , so go to a mattress shop and gab some of there discarded bags . Stuff them under your 4x4 seats and they are out of the way , but there if you brake down out bush !!! " prior preparation , prevents piss poor performance ! " 😀 TRUE
It should be noted , never do a tree still with a poisonous plant or tree , make sure you know it's a wattle etc and not a poisonous plant . Just like bush tucker , if you don't know if it's edible , don't eat it . If you don't know if it's a safe tree to make a tree still with don't do it . Poisonous sap in ya water could be the straw that killed the camels back , in a survival situitation .
The late Malcolm Douglas also has great demonstrations in his films making solar stills and collecting water from vegetation.

Solar stills are good to distill saltwater or stagnant water as well.
