Know before you buy
Traditional wire supports can cut into the bark and girdle a tree as it grows, which restricts nutrient flow. The DeWitt Tree Sling uses a non-girdling design that provides stable support while allowing the tree to expand naturally without damage.
No, this specific 20-inch model is designed for trees with a diameter of 5 inches or greater. Using it on smaller trees may not provide the appropriate tension or support required for proper stabilization.
Brass is highly resistant to corrosion, making it an excellent choice for long-term outdoor use. These grommets will maintain their structural integrity even when exposed to consistent moisture and changing weather conditions.
Installation is straightforward: wrap the sling around the tree trunk and secure it using the reinforced brass grommets. Ensure the tension is balanced on all sides to keep the tree upright while still allowing for natural movement in the wind.
Yes, the durable materials are designed for outdoor environments. However, it is good practice to periodically inspect the straps as your tree grows to ensure they remain positioned correctly and are not becoming too tight.
