Insurance for Your Trees
Aside from protecting your seedlings from damaging agents, the other very important role tree tubes provide is extremely fast growth. Tree tubes act like a tiny greenhouse, which increases the plants photosynthetic and transpiration rates. They also trap and direct moisture directly to the root system each and every day. No kidding, we have greater than 90% success when planting our rapid mast seedlings in the mid-summer, Mississippi heat. All we do is pour one 12 oz. bottle of water down the tube at planting time and surround the tube with a weed mat or mulch. Summer planted trees don’t normally grow much the first season, but most definitely have a head start the following spring.

Used tubes last year as a more economical way to plant more trees. (As compared to fencing.)
Quickly discovered Black Bears like to use them for chew toys, they will even carry them into a pile pile and then roll/play with them. If you have bears – like here in Central Pa, use fencing around your tree also.
For those planting Chestnuts, the trunks will stay green most of the year, I have had Whitetails peel them completely some were 6" in across. Using wire and a tube seems to be the best answer here.
How far apart on chestnut and sawtooth do you plant.
How tall are the trees I just ordered? Also, how much $ for every tree I ordered? Tks.
I planted 24 trees without tubes one spring, three weeks later I only had 12 trees due to whitetail deer. I tubed the remaining 12 and have experienced phenomenal growth and no further loss. They are more than worth the time and money!
