Rant: wasted $80 on those rubber tree protectors last spring

I put them on 12 young maples back in March and by August the bark was all soft and rotten underneath from trapped moisture, has anyone else had this problem with the cheaper spiral wrap?

Yeah "cheaper spiral wrap" is the problem, the good stuff lets air flow.

Yeah, you gotta get the mesh kind or it's basically a solid plastic tube.
