The details that matter
Everything that ships
- 25 tree shelters
- 25 hardwood stakes
- 50 zip ties
- Installation guide
Honest note: loosen the ties as trunks thicken. A shelter left cinched tight can girdle a fast-growing tree — a two-minute check each spring prevents it.
Questions, answered
Do I remove them later?
You can, but they are designed to photo-degrade in 5–7 years, by which point most trees have outgrown them. Check ties yearly so they do not girdle the trunk.
Will they overheat seedlings in summer?
The vented design moderates heat, but in very hot climates site plantings where they get afternoon shade for the first season.

Why we grow it this way
Get trees past the vulnerable years
Planting trees where livestock graze is a race: the tree has to outgrow browsing height before an animal or a deer sets it back years. These 4-foot translucent shelters win that race. They block browse, deer, rodents, and herbicide drift while creating a greenhouse microclimate that speeds early growth by 50–100%.
Twenty-five shelters, stakes, and ties — enough to establish a serious planting.

What growers say
My chestnuts took off
The growth difference versus my unsheltered trees is dramatic. Deer left them alone completely. Loosen the ties yearly.
Work as promised
Easy to stake and the trees are romping away inside them. Docking a star only because a couple blew loose in a storm — stake them well.
