Hi Kaveh - WE AGREE! Thank you for your comments regarding the cost of the ONLY Tree Stake Kit available today that meets the ORIGINAL tree staking standards and requirements of the American Landscape Association. For that reason, this is the only staking kit that Bower & Branch can recommend for our customers.
There are plenty of low cost tree staking kits available online for your convenience. However, for the maximum benefit of your tree in particular, we only recommend applying the Bower & Branch Kit.
Listen - Bower & Branch makes NO PROFIT on the Tree Staking Kit. We had these manufactured for the benefit of our customers and the trees we have provided. Bower & Branch designed, built, and created these tree stake kits to meet the highest standards of the Nursery Industry. When we started, we quickly realized the race to the bottom had been engaged and today, consumers are not provided options for Tree Staking that meet our industry standards and recommendations beyond our Tree Stake Kit.
The stakes are made of Oak, for long lasting and repeated use.
The wire is coated to avoid rusting.
The straps are made to meet specific widths and to be reusable over and over.
The shipping expenses have increased dramatically and continue to rise.
So - WE AGREE! The costs of beneficial and reusable Tree Stakes is very high. However, we understand the real value of Trees, the generational value - and this cost is dwarfed by those benefits.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! We wish you well with your tree in the years to come!
