A customer in Florida sent a photo of a sawtooth oak he planted as an 18/24″ seedling and protected with a 4ft tree tube. He texted: “This tree was planted 2 years and 2 weeks ago. Look at the height and girth, it’s amazing.”
4 foot tree tube. Sawtooth oak planted as an 18/24″ seedling 2 years and 2 weeks ago (click to enlarge). Check out the thickness of the trunk!
One of the old raps on tree tubes is that they supposedly produce thin-stemmed trees. With the new vented tree tubes, coupled with flexible PVC conduit stakes, thin stems are a thing of the past!
