Tree tubes are a "seeing is believing" kind of product... which made it a little difficult back in the olden days to fully explain them to prospective customers via a printed catalog or over the phone. I always used to catch myself gesturing to someone I was talking to on the phone in a pathetic attempt to explain how fast their trees would grow in tree tubes, only to realize that of course gestures are about as helpful in a phone conversation a they are over the radio... or when using smoke signals.
I used to love landowner field days, because they gave me an opportunity to demonstrate how tree tubes work in person to a small group of interested tree growers. It was a whole lot better than talking on the phone, and the potluck lunches were always a highlight, but it still wasn't the most efficient way to get the tree tube message out there - driving hundreds of miles to talk to a group of 12 to 24 folks.
These days it's so easy to get that same message out to thousands of people, just for the cost of a few pixels, thanks to You Tube.
Here are two great You Tube Channels that focus on tree planting and the use of tree tubes:
Mossy Oak Nativ Nurseries Seedling and Tree Tubes Channel
Tree Protection Supply Tree Tubes Channel
At both places you'll find a wealth of information from the most knowledgeable guys in the business!
