Planting tree saplings with Plantra tree tubes

[@kalaf3580]

Tree tubes in general work great if in the right location. From my experience, tubes should be placed in sunny areas not in the woods under tree canopy's. I've tried both plantra and miracle tree tube. The plantra tree tubes are flimsy and need to be staked all the way to the top. The holes for the zip ties/twist ties to connect to stake are to big. Mice get through the hole and make a nice cozy home for themselves and kill tree. A solid miracle grow tube does not need to be staked to the stop and have smaller ventilation holes near top of tube. I commend your efforts and wish you the best of luck, hope you're successful.

Is this tube suitable for olive trees?❤

stakes should be on the outside of the tube for easier installation/adjustment/removal and to give the tree more space to grow.

Great video, thank you!

Nice vid. How do you build a stake driver? Many thanks.

[@heathermoscho8478]

I'd love to know how to build the stake driver as well.

@@heathermoscho8478 it is a tube with a closed off end How many do you want they are $500 each lol

[@ziptiefighter]

A length of rigid conduit with a threaded end cap should do the trick...and be affordable/available. Verify that the conduit has an inner diameter sufficient to fit over the given stake.

Stake Driver comes with Plantra Tubes.

Are the tubes reusable after the 5 years?

I pull my tubes off before the tree branches out too much then replace the tube with a bark protector which is about half price of the tube .Once the tree grows too big for the bark protector from Plantra I surround the tree with 6 ft of welded wire fence .I get several trees protected with each method of protection .Remove the fiberglass stake as soon as the tree will stand up on its own .You might need to keep it with the bark protector for a season but remove it before the tree grows into the stake or you cannot pull it out .

It would be helpful if you provided a link to the kits you're selling. As it is, it doesn't matter if I'm interested, because I have to go searching for you

Just wrong planting trees under trees like that. So stupid. Also wrong spade...too deep as she/her says. What a terrible advert.

[@peterellis4262]

yeah, forests don't grow trees under other trees! Totally unnatural! Maybe you could go write an instruction manual instead of bashing others
