Tree Survival Kit
You're making an investment in your land — protect it. Each kit has a Tree Pro tube and a slow-release fertilizer block for one tree. The tube keeps deer and rabbits off and can double your growth rate; the fertilizer feeds the tree through its first season. Plant with a kit, follow the Growing Guide, and your trees are covered by our 1-Year Survival Guarantee.
You're making an investment in your land — protect it. Each Survival Kit protects one tree and includes:
- Tree Pro grow tube (48in tall) — shields from deer and rabbits and can double your growth rate. Stakes and zip ties are not included; you’ll need one stake per tube.
- Slow-release fertilizer block — feeds the tree through its first growing season
Plant with a Survival Kit and we guarantee the tree for a full year. Every tree planted in a kit is covered by our 1-Year Survival Guarantee: if it dies within a year of delivery, you get store credit for what you paid for it. Order one kit per tree.
Add Late Drop and keep chestnuts falling into December.

By November most acorns have been mopped up and the woods go quiet. Late Drop Hybrids are selected to drop Nov–late Dec, right when deer have the fewest options. Our recommendation: a 1:1 mix.
