Why Tree Tubes?
If you are planting tree seedlings for wildlife habitat (permanent or “overhead” food plots), windbreaks, high value hardwood production, or ecological restoration… those seedling trees face more threats than ever before.
Yes, your seedling trees will grow… eventually. After they finally grow past the deer browse. After they finally outgrow the weeds and brush. After you have replanted time and time again.
Why wait?
Tree tubes go by several names: Treeshelters, tree shelters, grow tubes and tree protectors. They are essentially translucent plastic cylinders that completely cover a tree seedling. They provide several benefits:
• Physical protection from deer, rabbit and rodent damage – put a 4 foot tube over a 6, 12 or 24 inch seedling (or even a planted acorn, chestnut or walnut) and it will be protected until it emerges from the tube
• Amazing growth! - Tree tubes reduce moisture stress so your seedlings grow more actively more of the time. You won’t believe how fast your trees can grow.
• Easy weed control – With tree tubes you can quickly locate your seedlings among the grass and brush, and easily spray or mow around them without damage… No more searching in the 3 foot grass for 6 inch seedlings!
In short, Tree Tubes dramatically reduce the overall cost of successful tree planting projects… both in terms of money and time.
