Its intended for lazy folks who don't want to dis assemble their artificial christmas tree. Instead they can plop it in the bag, stick it in the attic or basement and bring it back next Christmas. Bag keeps the dust out. I suppose if you use non breakable ornaments you could pack it away decorated!

I don't think is intended for outdoor winter protection use.

Yet it is shown being used on a real christmas tree . . . . won't look up to much the next year!!

If you click on the link, the bag is made so you can remove a real Christmas tree from your home after the holidays without getting needles everywhere.

I don't believe that the bag would work outside because it's made of polyester and that wouldn't breathe very well. On a sunny day, the tree would cook and possibly come out of dormancy.

If anyone purchases one, please let us know if it works.

Possibly you could use this for one day or two as protection from a winter ice storm or late spring freeze. Putting a 60-100 watt bulb on the ground under the tree could give enough heat to prevent freeze damage.

Wouldn't that also provide for a nice little winter campfire as well? ;)

Hi coniferfreak, With temps below freezing a 60-100 watt bulb is not going to start a fire. Place a foot or so away from the trunk being sure there is no foliage touching. The small amount of heat it puts off radiates up just enough to take the edge off. We are not talking about earth scorching temperatures here. I have used 150 watt bulbs with no issues with temperatures in the teens. I don't use anything like shown in the photo. I just drive a stake and hang a sheet on it securing the bottom with a few rocks to keep from blowing off.

Lights are on all night and the neighbors think you are crazy.

Looks like a tarp with a zipper - a tent. But it would work. You are nuts Dave. Where'd ya get the light heat source idea?

Dax, Heat from a light bulb is dissipated electrical energy as you are probably aware.
The thought came to me years ago when I wanted to prevent a Lilac from freezing that was getting ready to bloom.

The bulb under the sheet gave off just enough heat to prevent the plant from a hard freeze. I had the only blooming lilac in the neighborhood. I still use this same technique on occasion today. A crazy idea always works.

Too late... they already do! hahah But I suppose you guys with all that land whose neighbors can't even see you are safe. ;) My neighbors think I am nuts taking photos of my yard all the time. lol

Well anyway, interesting idea Dave! But if you ever do have a campfire, let us know! I'll bring the marshmallows...
