Tree tubes

[sep0667]

Got about a two dozen of these today free. They had been left out and most were on the ground with grass growing up in them and filled with dirt. Quick and easy to pick up and shake out the dirt.

They are probably 4-5 ft tall and plastic mesh type. They did have some sort of plastic between all the holes, but it’s broken down and all the holes are open.

Do you think this will work the protect little saplings I plant?

When do you take the tubes off the tress? I planted some chestnut trees and they have started pushing above the tubes.
Are you supposed to wait until they almost make contact with the diameter of the tube?

They usually break the tubes. Often times the tube gets cut in chunks & I remove it little by little. Otherwise- I’d probably wait until spring to take it off.

Be very careful not to take off to soon.
Bucks love to rub their antlers on them.
I have taken some tubes off at about 2" diameter and protected the chestnut tree with wire fenching just for a test.
One tree they got the wire way up the tree and almost ruined the tree.
