Works like a greenhouse to promote tree growth while protecting tree from animals and grass trimmers. They are a Flat Sheet (Slit Tube Design) that is formed into a Tree Tube with zip ties. This design allows multiple tree tubes to be attached using zip ties to expand to achieve larger diameters, there is almost no limit to the size of tree or plant it can protect. They have been used to protect evergreens, grape vines, strawberry, blueberry plants, and even tomato plants. Because Tree Pro Shelters can be easily removed, they can be reused elsewhere once they've done their job, a significant cost advantage over solid tubes. After planting the tree in accordance with proper tree planting directions, pound or press the stake into the ground at a distance from the tree equal to about one-half the diameter of the protector. The stake should be on the side of the tree toward the prevailing wind; e.g., if the prevailing wind is from the west, the stake should be on the west side of the tree. The top of the stake should be several inches higher than the top lock tie that secures the protector to the stake. . Fold the collar back over the outside of the protector, with the smooth side of the protector on the inside With the holes lined up, slide the lock ties through both holes in each side wall and lock the tie two or three clicks to keep it from falling out.
