As their names indicate, tree protectors and tree shelters are designed to protect and shelter trees.
They are supposed to protect trees from deer browse and rub, rodents, wind, drought, winter crack, sun scald, mowers, weed
eaters and herbicides.
Most protectors and shelters perform these functions adequately. However, they sometimes cause other problems
in the course of solving these.
The phenomenon of unintended results has led several independent organizations (not affiliated with TREE PRO) to
study tree protectors and their effects on trees.
