I'm cutting down my old tubes to use as tree protection from rubs but not sure what height to cut them to. I was hoping to cut the 5ft tubes in half. Anyone ever do this?

As part of a CRP planting I had about 300 crabapple and 300 plums planted and tubed with 5' tubes. This was back in 2011. I am now in the process of cutting the tubes back to 30" to protect the trees from deer rubs. So far it has worked well. I cut the tube back and prune off any unwanted limbs to provide the tree good form.

I thought the same thing at first but it seems at least in my area they don't like to go after trees with a tube on them. I had several trees I completely took the tubes off and the bucks ripped them up but the trees I left 30" tubes on they have left alone. Seems to work at least here.
