What Nursery Professionals are saying about the Shrub Coat
“Shrub Coat is an ingenious way to protect those tender shrubs that are sometimes damaged by winter winds, severe temperature changes, and deer. Vulnerable shrubs include Rhododendrons, Hollies, Pieris Japonica and many other evergreens, or evergreens planted in the last year or two. Shrub Coat lets the light in but keeps the dangers out, and it’s much better looking than most tents and wraps made out of burlap. Considering the investment in some precious landscape plants, Shrub Coat, a one time purchase, makes a lot of sense.”

“Shrub Cots work, because the only effective measure for preventing damage of ornamental plantings by deer and rabbits is to put a physical barrier between the hungry animal and the food. Compared to deer fencing and spray on repellants, Shrub Coats are more economical. They can be installed in minutes by homeowners, they are more durable, they require less room for storage, and they don’t require repetitive applications several times a year…. just put them up in the fall and take them down in the spring. It’s that simple.”

“The Shrub Coat is a great idea and a simple product to use to protect plants from wind, damaging snow and deer. I like the idea that it sets up quick, looks pleasing and does the job. It’s refreshing to use a product that performs as good as it looks and is built to last.”
