Description

Controls weeds and protects roots. These durable polypropylene mesh tree circles will eliminate the need for using dangerous string trimmers around trees — a risk to tender bark. Each tree circle measures 35-inches across and will easily slip around the base of any young tree. Cover with 2 to 4 inches of mulch, chipped bark, or landscape stone for a neat and tidy look.

They help keep the weeds from growing up around the trunks in our orchard.

Trying something new to keep grass down around my fruit trees.

I hate to pull weeds or use a weed wacker around trees.
Tina M on Feb 19, 2019
need to keep the weeds down--looks easy.
John R on Sep 5, 2018
I want the trees to do well and having it mulched around the tree keeps having to weed or get the mower up close which could damage the tree.
Cheryl P on Jul 14, 2018
I wanted to prevent the need for trimming around the tree.
Lori H on Apr 10, 2018
It's nice to keep away weeds from around the tree and it will keep my husband away with his weed wacker.
M Ann K on Oct 2, 2017
Want to have less weeds around the base of my trees.
Debi H on May 17, 2017
You could not ask for an easier way to keep a clean area around your trees than the Typar Tree Circles. They are around all of our trees.
BOBBY J on Apr 30, 2017
Want to try for better weed control.
GAIL C. on Jan 20, 2017
I have used other circles, just going to give these a try since I ordered something else anyway.
KENNETH L on Oct 8, 2016
Easier to now around trees.
Michael H on Jul 21, 2016
I want to protect my investment.
Phoebe W on Jun 5, 2016
More economical than the rubber mats. Plus the mulch I reapply heavily each fall is aesthetically more appealing.
Jane J on May 21, 2016
To keep grass and weeds until the tree gets a jump start.
Jackie L on May 19, 2016
I want my little trees to survive to fruit bearing size! This saves us from wanting to weed eat around them.

What is TYPAR TREE CIRCLE made of and does this product have any chemicals that might seep into the soil ?
Amir T on Mar 25, 2017
BEST ANSWER: These tree circles are made of Typar, a polypropylene nonwoven breathable fabric that is used as a barrier to discourage weeds, while allowing air, water, and nutrients to pass through to the root system. Typar is not water soluble, nor is this tree circle coated with any chemicals to leach into the soil.
Can a graft be covered with mulch?
John H on Apr 3, 2016
BEST ANSWER: NO. If the tree senses a possible fertile substance (mulch, soil, etc.) against its truck above the grafting knot, the tree will try (and usually succeed) to send out roots into that fertile substance. If the tree accomplishes that "higher rooting," then the benefit of any dwarfing root stock and grafting will be lost and you will end up with a standard sized tree.
Could I use these around my blueberry, blackberry and elderberry bushes?
Jessica S on Apr 18, 2019
BEST ANSWER: My wife & I successfully have used "Typar Tree Circles" ("TTC"s) around the base of our
"Silver Sage" Cenizo bushes in West Texas as a means to block the growth of weeds which otherwise would spring-up beneath the Cenizo bushes. We cover the TTCs with crushed gravel/small rocks. The material used in the TTCs has held-up well over the past couple of years in very adverse weather conditions to which the material has been subjected.
will pecan trees yield in zone 10?
Carole F on Oct 9, 2018
BEST ANSWER: If you look in the Characteristics section of any individual pecan variety, you will see a Zone range. If Zone 10 is included, the tree will do well there. Unfortunately, pecan trees need a cold dormant period and Zone 9 is about the furthest south they will produce.
Do I have to remove the grass from under where the tree circle will would be placed?
Michael M on May 19, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Not if you plan to mulch atop the circle. I never remove grass. I tack down outer edges of circle with landscape staples. Then I place 3 to 4 inches bark chips or other mulch on top. This allows mowing slightly onto the mulch.

They actually work as advertised!!
Since the first days (many years ago) of buying Stark trees, I have used the Typar Tree Circles on all of my fruit trees (18 at present). The Typar fabric is very sturdy but allows the moisture to pass through to the soil and keeps the weeds, stray up-shoots, etc. from breaking the surface and causing problems and extra work.

I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to NOT have to weed around the base of their trees, but also wants the moisture into the soil. Try them, you'll like them!!

not what I expected
The typar tree circles were flimsy. I expected something a bit more substantial.....could achieve same effect by buying landscape fabric (less expensive) and cutting it to desired size & shape.

typer Tree Circles
Easy to use, inexpensive, but can be made free standing wit pourous non rotting pseudo cloth- cut to size with shears. Doesn't hold retained multch on top. Prefer a rubberized mat, which stays around tree, and helps retained mulch on top. This is a more expensive alternative.

Typar tree circles
They are not very sturdy, and although I "stapled" them to the ground and covered with mulch, the weeds are already coming through. They worked well the first year, though.

There is better stuff out there...
I did receive my typar tree circles on time and they were exactly as described. I did use them and they are working fine. I did find some other materials that were MUCH cheaper and maybe a little better for the environment so I am going to use those materials from now on...

Tree circles
These circles are too thin for my applications. They are landscape fabric material, conveniently cut into a circle, but I find they easily blow away with the wood mulch on top. I guess they would be fine if one uses a river rock topping. I have two large rocks on top to keep it in place along with the wood mulch.

These work well for starter trees.
The circles were good quality and easy to install. Their small size makes them ideal for starter trees.

Great Product
The tree circles worked well on my new peach trees. I put cedar ships on top and it gave a nice guide for mowing and kept the grass and weeds away.

Typar Tree Circles
These work well for a season to keep the weeds and grasses from growing to close to the tree.
