Tree shelters improve the growth and survival of tree seedlings by protecting them from animal browsing and extreme temperatures. They are useful for re-establishing hardwood forests on abandoned agricultural land and other areas.

When choosing a protector ask yourself if you will be doing post planting maintenance. If you are Tree Pro has no equal. Because they can be opened up, it's easier to perform maintenance on the tree without removing the protector or disturbing/damaging the plant.

Tree Pro is the most versatile design in the industry.  Tree Pro is a flat sheet that forms into a tube. This design allows multiple Tree Pros to be attached using our Zip Ties to expand to achieve larger diameters, there is almost no limit to the size of tree or plant it can protect.

Tree Pro Tree Protectors have, in fact, been used to protect evergreens, grape vines, strawberry, blueberry plants, and even tomato plants

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.

Because Tree Pro Shelters can be easily removed, they can be reused elsewhere once they've done their job, a significant cost advantage over tubes.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

TreePro Protectors come flat and are easily assembled for maximum protection.

1. Fold the collar back over the outside of the protector, with the smooth side of the protector on the inside. The purpose of the collar is to provide a soft rim so the trees' bark won't be damaged.

PLEASE NOTE: Many tree planters have found it advantageous not to fold the collar. They've found that if the collar is left upright, birds will not light on it because it's too flimsy to support their weight. Also, it saves time because it's one less step. Even with the collar up there should be no abrasion of the tree's trunk.

2. With the holes lined up, slide the lockties through both holes in each side wall and lock the tie two or three clicks to keep it from falling out. 

3. Carefully slide the protector down over the top of the tree and the lockties down over the stake.

PLEASE NOTE: If the trees have branches, carefully gather them together with their tips facing up before lowering the protector.

4. Make sure the bottom of the protector is in good contact with the ground.

PLEASE NOTE: Proper protector installation does not require the protector to be pressed down into the ground because doing so can sometimes cause rodent problems. Mice, voles and other animals often build nests inside protectors that are too firmly planted in the ground. 

5. Tighten ties.
