Tree protection
Tree Tubes are a must when planting a tree. As the name implies, Tree Protection/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 a 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 buck rubs. Don’t wait until the trunk fills the tube, as moisture and debris can cause infections and fungal growth.
RE-USABILITY
Tree Pro Shelters are easy to remove and can be reused in other locations once they’ve served their purpose, offering a significant cost advantage over traditional tubes.
