Get Ready for Winter With Gardeneer® Tree & Plant Care Products

KNOXVILLE, Tn. – Dalen Products, Inc. offers a line of tree and plant care products that help protect landscaping beds and trees against harsh winter weather. The product line includes Tree Wrap, Burlap, Jute Twine, as well as an innovative Tree Stake Kit and Tree Guard for newly planted trees.

"The Gardeneer® brand is all about protecting the yard and garden, " said Neal Caldwell, Dalen’s founder and chairman. "The company’s origins and focus have always been on developing products that help homeowners protect and enhance their precious plantings and landscaping. This is especially important for young trees and shrubs during the winter months."

Tree Wrap™ is a great way to protect young trees from the extremes of winter temperatures. One 3"x50’ roll wraps approximately 5 trees. Burlap protects in several ways: 1) shields shrubs from harsh winds, 2) provides a form of insulation against cold temperatures, and 3) helps keep snow away from the base of the plant. Burlap is 100% natural and also is ideal for erosion control, temporary fencing, and transplanting trees. Jute Twine can be used in conjunction with burlap to wrap shrubs and plants for the winter season, as well as dozens of other garden and craft uses.

To protect newly planted trees against damage from high winds, installation of a tree stake kit is often recommended. The Gardeneer® Mow-Over Tree Stake Kit™ is an innovative design with a real advantage over standard tree stake kits. The wooden stakes are installed so that they are flush with the ground, which allows for mowing right over the stakes, thereby eliminating the need for trimming around them.

Gardeneer® plant protection products are offered by Knoxville-based Dalen Products, a leading manufacturer of landscaping fabrics, garden netting and fencing, scarecrow devices, decorative fencing and edging, and other yard and garden products for use by both homeowners and landscapers.
