Product Information
Full details
The Ambassador Soft Shrub Ties are designed for gardeners and landscapers needing a reliable and gentle way to support young trees and shrubs. Their key benefit is providing strong, rot-proof securing without damaging plant stems. A potential consideration is that for very large or heavy trees, two ties may be required for adequate support. These ties feature a strong yet supple material with a self-locking mechanism for easy application and a durable, rot-proof construction.

Troubleshooting
Tie not locking securely
Ensure the tie is threaded correctly through the locking mechanism and pulled taut. If the tie is damaged, replace it.
Plant stem showing signs of stress
Loosen the tie slightly to allow for growth. Ensure you are not using excessive force when tightening. For larger plants, consider using two ties as recommended.
Ties degrading prematurely
While rot-proof, extreme or prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals could affect longevity. Ensure ties are only used for their intended purpose of plant support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Simply wrap the tie around the plant stem and the support stake (if used). Thread one end of the tie through the locking mechanism on the other end and pull taut until secure. For larger plants, use two ties spaced appropriately for balanced support.
Compatibility: These ties are suitable for a wide range of garden plants, including shrubs, young trees, perennials, and climbing plants. They are designed to work with standard garden stakes, canes, and trellises.
Care: The rot-proof material requires minimal care. After use, they can be cleaned with water and stored in a dry place. Inspect ties periodically for wear, though their durable construction minimizes this.
