TREE TUBES
Tree tubes protect small trees—
even in North Dakota weather!
Plantra's cross-flow venting boosts CO2 recharge and allows proper dormancy. Unlike rigid wood, bamboo, and metal stakes which inhibit normal stem development and strength, the trunk-builder flexes in the wind to encourage natural stem strengthening in a process known as thigmomorphogenesis—the phenomenon of touch-induced changes in plant growth.

PLANTRA GETS RESULTS
These before and after photos of this tree planting show some of the many benefits of tree tubes. Even through high winds, these tubes stayed in place and offered protection to the young trees while providing a greenhouse microclimate.
