Tierra Garden50-8000 Haxnicks Easy Fleece Jacket, 2-Pack, Large

These are well made but must be removed every morning. Personally I did not feel they were worth the effort if one has many plants.

Protection of roses, just what I wanted

I have only used these twice so far during the cold snap in November. First, let me say that they did protect my plants during a few frosts, and in temps in the high 20's, which were accompanied by cold wind and gusts up to 25 mph for about 24 hours.As to the "ease" of covering the plants....it all depends on the type of plant. Small, upright plants that don't have fragile branches, such as my 2 foot fall/15 inch wide boxwood, was very easy to cover. Potted plants were very easy to cover. For the smaller pots that were not heavy, I just picked them up and set them down into the fleece jacket while my son held it open, then I closed the top with the drawstring. For the potted plants too heavy to lift, I just covered them as shown in the picture, however, because some potted plants were only 10 inches tall (Petunias), I covered either the whole pot, or half of it, depending on the size of the pot.If one has a potted plant, or an in-ground plant, that has many branches (Hibiscus, Lantana, Fern, Azalea, small Palm) which extend outward a foot or two, covering it was a little trickier, and it took 2 people to do it. One person is needed to hold the fleece jacket open while the other person carefully lifts the branches up and gently guides the jacket down until the top of the jacket meets the top of the plant.I don't feel these jackets are very accommodating for plants that do not have at least a 2 inch trunk or stem. It was rather difficult to pull the drawstring completely closed on shrubs that have leaves and branch all the way to the ground.Plants I had difficulty covering were: Cordyline 'Red Star Sensation', Philodendron 'Xanadu', Small Autumn Ferns, Hibiscus, Lantana, Salvia guaranitica 'Black and Blue', Salvia greggii, Mexican Petunia (Ruellia brittoniana), Salvia microphylla, and Lantana Camara)While I did manage to cover all of my plants, some were harder to do than others, and the majority of them took 2 people to do so. And because of the difficulty covering the plants, I just left the Fleece Jacket on for the next 2 days until the night temps went back into the 40's and we had no frost or freeze warning issued. The plants did just fine being covered during the day even when it was sunny and the temps were in the low 50's. It did rain heavily for 1 of those days and rain was able to penetrate the fleece jackets. I know this because when I removed the jackets the next morning, the leaves were wet and rain water even collected on the Philodendron leaves.All in all, while it may have been hard to cover some plants, the Easy Fleece Jacket did protect the plants when night temps fell as low as 28 degrees and through frosts and a freeze.

I like the drawstring. I have to see how my plant survives the winter with use of this garden cover, then will update my comments

Temps the next couple of nights in the 20's. ❄️ A few snow flurries. 🌨 These arrived just in time. I put the small size on my 14" urns. I put 2 medium - one over each end of a 36" long skinny planter. As I couldn't use the drawstring, I overlapped and secured them along the planter box base with my fancy decorator sand bags (IMORDEN Saddlebags sandbags) which I need when we have strong wind warnings. The medium wasn't quite big enough for a 20" large sword fern, so I quickly ordered a large. In the mean time, I secured 3 mediums over the top. I give these details, because I read all customer reviews & get good ideas. Like one guy said "gently lift up autumn fern fronds" which helped. Another guy said he put over rhododendrons when first setting buds to keep the deer 🐺 from eating them. I had that issue this year, so I will definitely put them on next year‼️ I liked the color of these, soft light fern green. It was thin, can rip, but it is a high grade fleece which lets in sunlight, air, and moisture. It came in a handy plastic resealable bag for storage when there's no frost concerns. I will replace them as needed. This product is quality all the way.Update 1-16-2017 We had 2 different times with temps in the TEENS each lasting a couple of weeks. They have held up well. After each use, I washed on knits/delicates warm and dried on the gentle cycle. Afterwards I fold them back up and put them in their original plastic bags for the next time. The plants survived - some fern fronds were a little battered. I took them off when temps reached above freezing.

Sun destroys this!!! At least in hot, sunny areas, avoid this in summer! I think it's a great price and size (Large); great concept for winter protection; but I cannot believe how fast it disintegrated when I used it as a sun cover for a large cauliflower plant. As you can see, it deterred caterpillars & moths pretty well until it burst. I ordered this in May, and it disintegrated by July. It actually rained a whole lot, with less of the Texas sun than usual; so again, I am surprised. It could only have had a few weeks of sun. I do hope for better things when I use the 2nd one this winter.If sun destroys it, I think that should be in the description. There is no button to report a problem and get a replacement at this point. The consolation is the nice price and getting 2.

I bought these pale green jackets (2 to a pkg.) to protect my seedlings from frost. So far with a jacket on, they have survived 28-30 degree nights without a problem. My bucket of liquid fertilizer was frozen solid this morning, but my plants were just fine. The jacket fits perfectly over the Garden Tower 2 with casters, which is fairly tall. I'm so happy I purchased this product, and I look forward to doing some planting in the fall, too. BTW, some have complained they lost plants to frost. My suggestion is to use 2 bags if 1 isn't enough.Found a new use the this jacket! We had to leave town for 3 days and I worried that my beans, beets, lettuce and herbs in the Garden tower would wither in the July heat with no rain in the forecast. After watering well, I put the jacket over the tower and secured it at the bottom with the drawstring. When we returned I removed the jacket and found all of my plants completely unstressed. What an amazing plant saver!

Bought these to stop the birds eating the blueberries. Should do the trick nicely!Just for demonstration purposes (and definitely not for a cheap laugh) I tried the fleece on. I'm 6ft 3 and these nearly touch the ground!

I admit that I intended to order the medium, rather than large fleece jackets. However, either "finger trouble" by me, or a slip up resulted in two LARGE jackets arriving. They are to be used on a couple of 1.2m olive trees, which probably prefer a balmy Mediterranean climate to the current arctic icy blasts in the UK. So, large jackets are indeed very large and easily cover the trees and their large containers (with lots of room to spare), which is probably no bad thing. I believe that water and light can penetrate the fleece, but plants are shielded within, in their own slightly warmer cocoon. The jackets seem fairly thick and robust, so hopefully come the spring, we will still have two healthy olive trees.

Okay to fit, but not very strong. Wind can strip cover from plant, and the material is not the strongest, with plants sometimes breaking through the fabric. Did protect most plants from air frost though, but did not stop one very delicate plant from being killed by the cold. The jacket must be very strongly tied to the plant and kept under observation when winds are strong. Probably work best in sheltered situations.

I purchased two x two packs of these excellent winter shrub, plant and small tree covers, and it took me less than 15 minutes to have all four groups of plants / shrubs / trees bunched up and fully covered by these excellent protective " bags " . The draw string holds the covers firmly in place. Cannot recommend them highly enough and at £ 4.99 a pair they really are very reasonably priced. Ive downgraded my review from 5 to 3 stars as the cheaply made plastic sprung clasp on the draw spring comes apart very easily upon only the second time that I used them during the " beast form the east " weather. Great covers, shame about the cheap finishing. Hence you cant tighten the base of the covers without the clasp.

I used these to cover blueberry plants to stop the birds eating all the fruit. They helped retain the warmth, so helped ripen the fruit. I think they would be much easier to use if they folded around the plant and fastened with studs or such like? I needed to bend the stems of the plant to be able to fit this over them, and occasionally a stem broke . Still think they are a great buy for protecting the plants, but need an xlarge size
