I thought this could run alongside the Glyphosate and trees thread. When do you take your tubes off? i have been taking hedge tubes off at about 2 or 3 years but some i leave on untill they break down but you then don't get the low growth. Trees i have to leave as we do have a deer problem shrubs i find always grow back whatever.:001_smile:

David, are you talking about tree protectors (like the white plastic or corrugated tubes)? Are you asking fpeople with a large quantity of young trees annually (for replacement plantings)? Or is this a more general and possibly individual question? What are your tubes made from?

 

We put the tree guards on in the winter to protect from sun scald, but they come off during the rest of the year.

 

In your instances of woodlands on estates, where you are encouraging habitat, I can imagine this is a problem. You want the wildlife, but you need the young trees to thrive as well.

 

Here we tend to go to tall fences in orchard/nursery situations, but then we are trying actively to keep the deer/elk out, not dealing with a cohabitation situation.

 

How do you deal with rabbits?
