Tree Protectors and Shelters
As
their names indicate, tree protectors and tree shelters are designed to protect and shelter trees. They are supposed to protect
trees from deer browse and rub, rodents, wind, drought, winter crack, sun scald, mowers, weed eaters, herbicides, and more.
Unfortunately, some shelters cause other problems in the course
of solving these. And some of these problems can result in substantial tree loss. There are just too many variables that
affect tree health and growth to rely on guesswork. Designing
a protector that has just the right mix of qualities to optimize tree health while minimizing potentially damaging side-effects
is a difficult balancing act. Not everyone can do it and, in fact, only TREE PRO has been able to achieve that balance.
Numerous independent researchers
have published reports proving that Tree Pro tree protectors and Miracle Tube tree shelters are superior to all others in improving
tree survival and growth rate." Why invest all that effort in planting trees and not
give them the best start possible?
Which style
tree protector does the best job protecting trees? Which promotes the fastest growth? Which improves the seedlings' chance
of survival? According
to numerous research studies and anecdotal evidence, only Tree Pro and Miracle Tube protectors satisfy
all criteria. These protectors do the best job of: - protecting trees
- maximize growth
- increasing survival
- stimulating root
development
- creates a straight form
If this is true,
then why the debate? As you will see elsewhere on this website, there are no properly done studies which
show that other protectors are better at achieving these three goals. The debate exists
only as an artifact of obsolete design criteria. As more and more tree growers become aware of which protectors best meet
these criteria, the debate will become as faint as a whisper.
