Loading ...Tree Tubes – Go from seedling to tree… fast!
Tree Tubes (also known as “treeshelters” or “tree protectors”) turn seedlings into healthy, fast growing trees in less time & with less work!
- Protect tree seedlings from deer browse and “buck rub,” rabbits, and rodents
- Accelerate growth & increase survival rates – it’s like giving each seedling its own mini-greenhouse
- Shield seedlings from herbicide and mowers, for faster, easier weed control (which further accelerates growth)
- Mark seedling location, so your seedlings are easy to find and care for
Tree Tubes save time & money – No more wasted effort, no more wasted years planting over and over again, only to have your seedlings eaten by deer, scorched by drought or smothered by competing vegetation.
Use Tree Tubes On:
- Newly planted seedlings – from 2 inches to 4 feet tall – to get them off to a safe, healthy start! Tree Tubes shield them from animal damage, reduce moisture stress and make weed control fast and easy.
- Seedlings you planted in previous seasons but have been nipped off by deer or rabbits – just prune them to a single stem, apply Wilson Tree Tubes, and stand back! Your trees already have established root systems. Give them Wilson Tree Tubes and you won’t believe how fast it will grow!
- Natural or “volunteer” seedlings you want to favor with the fast growth, browse protection and easy weed/brush control Tree Tubes can give them
- Stump sprouts – it’s not uncommon for sprouts from harvested trees to grow 8, 10 or even 12 feet in one year with a Tree Tube!
- Direct seeded acorns, chestnuts or walnuts
- Grafted fruit or nut trees that are 2 feet to 4 feet tall
Which Trees Grow Well In Tree Tubes?
- All broadleaf (hardwood) seedlings, for wildlife habitat, conservation and reforestation plantings – oak, maple, black walnut, fruit trees, nut trees – all broadleaf trees thrive in Wilson Tree Tubes!
- Baldcypress in the Southeast
- Conifers in the Pacific Northwest
