At Grassland Nursery, we recognise the critical need to provide strong support for your trees, particularly in areas susceptible to high winds or when the tree's size requires additional stability. To ensure the root systems remain securely anchored in the soil, all trees should be staked and tied. This stability allows the roots to spread and establish a firm anchor, essential for healthy growth. Without proper support, newly planted trees can sway in the wind, leading to a dry, loose root ball that hampers root development and can ultimately cause the tree to decline and fall.
Our 40cm tree ties, crafted from premium soft rubber, are designed to deliver exceptional strength and flexibility, offering durable support without harming the bark. These ties are both weather and UV-resistant, ensuring they remain effective and reliable throughout the year, regardless of the conditions. With an intuitive locking mechanism, they are easily adjustable, requiring no tools, making them ideal for a wide range of garden projects.
To provide even greater protection, we also offer Tree Pads and Tree Blocks that create a protective barrier between the tree and stake, preventing chafing and promoting optimal growth.
How to Install:
To install a 40cm rubber tree tie, start by placing a suitable stake next to the tree, ensuring it is firmly anchored in the ground. The size and length of the stake should be appropriate for the size and height of the tree. Next, form the tree tie into a figure-eight shape, with one loop around the tree trunk and the other around the stake, positioned about one-third of the way up the tree. Secure the tie using the locking mechanism or by tying it, ensuring it’s snug but not too tight, allowing the tree some movement. Regularly check the tie to make sure it isn’t too tight, adjusting it as the tree grows. After one to two years, once the tree is stable, remove the tie and stake.
Does the height include the pot?
No, we measure from the top of the pot to the tip of the plant except for some of the instant planted screens, in this case it will be stated in the description
