Spring growth on Hawthorn. Young trees in leaf, protected by plastic tree tubes, growing in forestry Plantation, North Yorkshire Moors, Garsdale, UK


Tree tubes (tree shelters) assure seedlings survive against the many threats that kill unprotected seedlings, like cold, wind and predation from rabbits and deer, in their first seasons. They act like a mini-greenhouse to build and grow the whole plant from the roots to stem and shoots. Tree protectors assist young broad leaf seedlings to survive, thrive, and succeed.
