In 1987, Tom Mills, founder and president of Tree Pro, was a consultant for American Forestry Technology, Inc., of West Lafayette, Indiana. At that time American Forestry was the sole source for the genetically improved black walnut varieties developed and patented by Purdue University. Eager to protect these valuable cultivars, American Forestry installed thousands of tree shelters, which at the time was a brand new device imported from Europe. A few months later 74 percent of American Forestry's seedlings were dead. Tom Mills decided at that time to develop his own grow tube with easier installation and greater survival rates. OUR MISSIONIt is our goal to provide you with the #1 Tree Protector, Grow Tube, Tree Shelter, and Tree Protection products in the Industry in terms of growth and survival rates.
