Tree protection
Tree Tubes are a must when planting a tree. As the name implies, Tree Protectors/Tree Tubes protect trees from deer browse and rub, wind, drought, and other natural disasters.
When planting seedlings, countersink the tube a few inches. This may prevent small rodents from using the tube as winter refuge or “girdling” the seedling.
Don’t forget to cover newly installed tubes with mesh. This will prevent wasps from nesting in the tubes.
Additionally, zip-tie each tube to a stake.
After the sapling emerges, leave the tube. We suggest leaving it on until the trunk almost fills the tube.
That will prolong protection from rubbing bucks. Don’t wait until the trunk fills the tube, since moisture and debris can cause infections and funguses.
RE-USABILITY
Because Tree Pro Shelters can be easily removed, they can be reused elsewhere once they have done their job, significant cost advantage over tubes.
Available in 2-foot for $4.25 or
5-foot for $6.25
(Zip tie and stake included)
