TASSU - A protective collar for seedlings, made of natural materials
Tassu is a decayable seedling collar manufactured of recycled paper. Tassu seedling collar can be impregnated with natural repellents and micro-nutrients,
if necessary. Tassu seedling collar is placed around the butt of the
seedling; it protects the seedling against grass and other competing ground
cover vegetation, and reduces competition for root space. By reducing
surrounding ground cover vegetation, Tassu improves the seedling's growth
conditions in terms of water and nutrients, and helps create an open space
around the seedling. Channels on the surface of Tassu seedling collar
gather water, and as the collar becomes moist it settles on to the ground. When
wet, Tassu stays tightly in place, and if it dries, the added starch glue
helps it stay in place. Tassu seedling collar protects the seedling for
the decisive first years, after which it decays. Tassu seedling collar
was designed to guarantee successful planting of seedlings and to help them grow
into tall quality trees.
