Why HORT

Better Products for Better Tree Care

Tree care products should be simple to use, safe for trees, and strong enough to perform outdoors. HORT is built around practical solutions that help support and protect trees without unnecessary damage.

Simple, reliable solutions for supporting and protecting your trees.

HORT products are designed for real planting and landscape work. Whether you are staking a newly planted tree, tying plants to a support, or protecting a young trunk through harsh seasonal conditions, the goal is the same: use the right material for the job.

Instead of relying on rope, wire, or makeshift solutions that can cut into bark, HORT products are made to provide strong, clean, tree-friendly support.

What Makes HORT Different?

HORT products are not complicated. They are purpose-built for the specific problems that happen during planting, staking, tying, and trunk protection.

Safe on Trees

HORT tree straps and tree tie use soft, flexible materials that help reduce the risk of cutting, scarring, rubbing, or girdling the tree.

Made in the USA

HORT products are proudly made in America with a focus on consistency, quality control, and dependable supply.

Easy to Use

HORT products are practical and straightforward, making them a good fit for homeowners, contractors, distributors, garden centers, and landscape professionals.

Built for Outdoor Conditions

From sun exposure and weather to wind and seasonal changes, HORT products are designed to perform in real outdoor environments.

Designed to Replace Makeshift Tree Care

Rope, wire, hose, and other improvised materials are commonly used because they are easy to find, not because they are the best choice for the tree.

The problem with rope, wire, and hose

Narrow materials can concentrate pressure in one small area of the trunk. As the tree moves in the wind or grows over time, those materials can rub, cut, or compress the bark.

Even wire-through-hose can create problems. The hose may seem protective, but it can still press against the trunk, hold moisture, rub the bark, or create a rigid contact point.

Better approach: Use wide, soft tree straps where the support contacts the trunk. The strap spreads pressure over a larger area and gives the installation a cleaner, more professional appearance.

Built Around the Products Trees Actually Need

HORT focuses on simple product categories that solve common tree care problems: support, tying, and protection.

Tree Straps

Used when staking newly planted trees. Tree straps provide a wide, soft contact point against the trunk and help stabilize the tree while the root system establishes.

Tree Tie

A flexible tying material for trees, shrubs, plants, vines, trellises, and general landscape support. It is easy to cut to length and softer than rough rope or wire.

Tree Wrap

Paper tree wrap helps protect young or sensitive trunks from sun scald, windburn, frost, and seasonal weather stress.

Professional Results

HORT products help create a clean, consistent finished installation whether the job is done by a contractor, municipality, garden center customer, or homeowner.

Quality You Can See in the Details
