Dear sirs. I think your Yucca tree wrappers, just received, an improvement on last year and the year before, and I am m, ore than pleased with my experiments with them; in fact, in planting the remaining 200 acres of my orchard, I would not do without them. I experience these main and satisfactory facts; The protection to the tender bark the first year from the hot summer s, un. Protection from the rabbits. I notice that when loosing the wrapper after twelve months planted, the growth below or under the wrapper was very noticeably larger than just above the wrapper, and while the wrapper is porous and admitting the air, I fi, nd the fiber very strong and durable, and with care will do to be used after the second year on the trees first planted. | ||||
