Tall Grow Tube Height Stops Browse Damage before It Starts! Deer are unquestionably the number one threat to nearly all wild-land, and today, many urban tree plantings. When you're planting in "deer country" SunFlex is the only hope a young seedling has. White-tailed deer, with an average height of 36-40 inches at the shoulder plus its neck length, can easily browse nearly any unprotected tree below a height of about 4½ ft. tall. That's why our "Deer Stopper" Grow Tubes start at 58-inches go up from there. Trying to grow unprotected hardwood seedlings or those in a grow tubes (or tree-shelter or tree tube) below a 4½ ft.ft height is usually futile. Unprotected seedlings stand no chance against hungry mouths - see image on right showing the all-too-familiar fate of an unprotected seedling. Once deer munch the top a tree's natural form is irreparably harmed. The tree usually responds by robbing its root system to replace lost growth in an often futile effort to grow past the deer. And if deer don't get your young seedlings, there's a good chance that the rabbits will.
