Tierra Garden 50-8010 Haxnicks Easy Fleece Jacket, 3-Pack, Medium

I bought 4 of these before we had our freezing cold front come through Houston, TX. All of my plants that I wrapped with this jacket died. All of the plants I wrapped with a normal tarp you can find anywhere lived. I lost over $400.00 in plants because this product failed to do as described. I will be returning. Save your money and just buy a tarp, it will provide much better protection than these.

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.

i live just north of Houston Texas. I specifically bought to save my 4ft tall hibiscus scrubs in the freezing temps so far we have used them twice since my purchase and they are still thriving. A tip I learned after the first use... If the bag rests on the leaves they can get a little frost burn but the branches were still flexible and alive , so I just trimmed those off. So on the second freeze I added a tall plant pole for the bag to rest on and drape more over the plant . Also make sure to pull draw strings close to base of plant for protection. I plan on buying a few more so I don't have to haul my potted plants to the garage

I loved the idea of these bags. No more wrapping burlap and tying with string. No more itchy burlap fibers on you and your clothes. Just put the bag on the plant and pull a draw string right? I went out and measured my plants before I purchased these to insure I purchased the right sizes. Amazon states the Large measures 23.6"D x 31.5"H each. The product write up states the dimensions are 47" diameter & 71" high. The Large bag packaging also states 47" x 71". For the Medium bag, Amazon lists 31.5"D x 39"H each. The product write up on the medium also lists the same measurements. The Medium bag lists the measurement at 31" high (2 ft, 7 in) and 24" wide (2 ft). So, not only is the medium advertised incorrectly, but there are no way the Large bags are 47 inches in diameter. The mouth of the bag does not open wide enough, so unless you have a plant you are basically willing to squish in the bag, these things aren't going to work. It is kind of like squeezing yourself into a pair of jeans two sizes too small. You may get in those jeans, but you will probably bruise and scratch up your skin doing so. Also, the stitching on one of the bags started to unravel as my husband and I unfolded the bag and tried placing it on the plant. So, that plant bag fit alright because all the stitching came undone. These are really terrible. I am returning them and going to try a different brand.

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.

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 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

The large size easily covers a 6ft. Australian fern with room to spare Excellent quality and good value for money. Like the drawstring at the base. Wish I noticed this product before now and would highly recommend.
