{"product_id":"rubber-tree-ties-25m-roll","title":"Rubber Tree Ties, Figure-of-Eight Belt, 25m Roll, 11.4mm or 25mm Wide","description":"\u003cp\u003eNewly planted trees need holding to a stake until their roots can anchor them, but the tie must not rub or strangle the bark as the trunk thickens. These rubber tree ties are a flexible rubber belt with slotted links, supplied on 25m rolls in a choice of thickness and width. The belt is wrapped in a figure of eight around the stake and tree, leaving plenty of rubber between the two, so no separate spacer block is needed. It is tightened or loosened by threading the belt back through its own slots, and needs no tools. Cut to the length you need, it can be reused season after season. Landscapers, tree surgeons, local authorities, nurseries, foresters and gardeners use it on staked trees, tree shelters and bamboo canes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFigure-of-eight protects the bark\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tie crosses between the tree and the stake, so the rubber itself keeps them apart. That limits abrasion where the trunk would otherwise rub against the stake in the wind, without needing a separate buffer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAdjustable as the tree grows\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the belt threads through its own links, you can loosen it as the trunk thickens, or tighten it after strong winds. That avoids the girdling damage caused by forgotten fixed ties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNo tools, cut to length\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is nothing to nail or buckle.

Cut a length of tie, pass it around the stake, cross it between stake and trunk, pass it around the trunk and thread the end back through one of the slots to make a figure of eight with rubber between the two. Fix the tie about a third of the way up the trunk. Check ties each spring and autumn, loosening them as the trunk grows, and remove them once the tree is self-supporting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a spacer block?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The figure-of-eight leaves rubber between tree and stake, so a separate spacer is not needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I adjust it later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
