Tree shelters are an important task when attempting to establish hard-to-grow trees or when working on challenging sites. The twinwalled, solid, translucent tubes provide maximum protection from animal browses, wind, chemical sprays and equipment. In addition, the greenhouse environment created inside the shelter promotes growth.
IMPORTANT FOLLOW UP MAINTENANCE FOR TUBEX TREESHELTERS
Inspect the installed shelter periodically. Straighten leanig shelters, remove competing weeds around outside of shelter, and remove bird mesh if tree is close to emerging from top of shelter. If weeds begin to grow inside shelter and shade the tree from the sun, simply reverse the shelter installation process, remove the weed, and re-install the shelter.
Remove the shelter from the tree when the tree reaches 2 inches or more in diameter at beast height.
