2.5cm Soft Strapping Cushions x 10

Protect bark and boost tree health during staking with this 10-pack of 2.5cm Soft Strapping Cushions. Designed to sit between the strap and the trunk, these cushions act as a gentle buffer that dramatically reduces friction, distributes pressure more evenly, and helps prevent the dreaded girdling that can occur with tight ties. Ideal for young trees, delicate bark species, or any setup where a strap runs over the trunk for an extended period. What makes these cushions stand out - Precisely sized for 2.5 cm straps: a secure, snug fit that stays in place as you tie, wrap, and stake. - Soft buffering action: cushions the contact surface to minimize bark damage, cuts down on abrasion, and protects the tree’s healing areas. - Even pressure distribution: helps prevent concentrated pressure points that can cause scarring or girdling, promoting healthier growth. - Durable and reusable: built to withstand outdoor conditions and multiple staking seasons when stored flat between uses. - Universal compatibility: works with any tree strapping under 2.5 cm wide, making them a versatile addition to nurseries, landscapers, and home gardens. Who benefits most - Home gardeners staking young saplings or newly planted trees. - Landscapers and nurseries that set up temporary supports for seasonal displays. - Anyone aiming to protect tree trunks from strap-related damage during tying, bracing, or training. How to use 1) Place a Soft Strapping Cushion directly on the trunk where the strap will contact the bark. 2) Position the strap over the cushion, then secure as usual. 3) Check that the cushion sits flat and that there’s no bunching or pinching of the bark. 4) Recheck periodically, especially after heavy winds or growth, and replace if worn. Why this matters - Protecting the tree’s bark and cambium supports faster recovery after planting and minimizes stress during establishment. - By reducing friction and distributing pressure, you extend the life of both the strap and the tree, letting stakes do their job without compromising trunk health. Pack contents - 10 soft strapping cushions (2.5 cm width compatible), ready to pair with your existing straps or our recommended 2.5 cm tree strapping.
