Tree sapling protectors #926645

Asked March 24, 2026, 11:58 AM EDT

Do you sell tree sapling protectors? I am trying to grow swamp white oaks from seed and have some that have germinated. I would like to get some tree sapling tube protectors with paying hundreds of dollars!

We do not sell anything. You can find the tree protectors online, and yes they are expensive. Chicken wire cages around the plants and sometimes over the top also work for this effort.
