Planted about 30 oaks behind the house and need tubes on them. Way too many out there for me to research. What’s a good tube to use that isn’t in the $8+ range? Cheaper the better, but I want a solid 5’ tube to that won’t break down immediately.
If any of you are wondering, YES, they work.
Thanks for the thread. I need a few myself and some Quercus laurifolias...
Good post. I planted some chestnuts and need some tubes.
I've also been looking at these. I remember seeing them on Shark Tank.

I use 5 footers from Hallman Tree Farm in Little Mountain. If I remember correctly they are between $4-5 each. And I use 1/2” conduit for my stakes. About to by another load from them as I used my last ones this weekend when I planted some grafted persimmons.

I planted some 18” white oak seedlings 2 years ago that are either 19” or dead today. 2 weeks ago, I ordered some Nativ nursery white and Shumard seedlings with small pots that look great. They actually come with a well defined root ball, not just half of a broken tap root. I want to give these a fighting chance.
Plantra looks like a premium tube but the ones I see are either too expensive to justify or you’d have to order several hundred. I’ll probably take a trip to Hallman’s unless one of y’all tell me how to get Plantras.
Too much competition or poor seedlings, I’m not sure. I’ll do a better job of mowing this year for the competition, and probably fertilize both. I made a point to plant some Nativ seedlings beside some of those 2 yr olds. At least I’ll know if the potted trees are superior or not.
Don't forget to mulch'm up for a fighting chance.
We gave you Corn,you gave us clap,bad trade.
A M Leonard has the best price I've found for bulk orders.
