Buckle tree ties
The original Rainbow Buckle Tree Tie dates back to the 1960s and still the most widely used type of tree tie owing to its simplicity and reliability. The tie itself consists of a belt, buckle and collar which means that the belts can be slackened by the buckle as the tree matures with no damage to the tree tie and should last in excess of 10
The original Rainbow Buckle Tree Tie dates back to the 1960s and still the most widely used type of tree tie owing to its simplicity and reliability. The tie itself consists of a belt, buckle and collar which means that the belts can be slackened by the buckle as the tree matures with no damage to the tree tie and should last in excess of 10 years, they can even be re-used if necessary.
Sizes
A range of sizes are available covering small roses and shrubs to semi-mature trees.
Materials and construction
The buckle is made from strong polycarbonate which is able to withstand high wind loads. The belt is made from a soft PVC which has some stretch to allow the tree to move and develop its own resistance to wind. Tthe collar fits between the stake and tree, preventing rubbing of the stake. Little on-going maintenance is required with inspections at just under 2 years.
Hoop collars
Hoop collars are used to prevent the tree and stake rubbing together which can cause damage to the tree. They are sold in three different sizes (1.3, 2.5 and 3.8cm) and supplied in conjunction with all buckle tree ties, but can be purchased separately.
