Abstract
A covering for a tree including a flexible fabric envelope having a closed top and an open bottom, the bottom being held open at all times during use by means of a relatively rigid ring. The cover is placed on the tree through use of a ring affixed to the top thereof. It is removed in a "reverse peeling" fashion by raising the rigid ring upwardly. The cover is sized so that the ring is in contact with the ground surrounding the tree during use.

- suspending said covering above a tree by said lifting means;
- lowering said covering over said tree;
- leaving the covering on said tree until it is no longer needed;
- and thereafter removing said covering by exerting upward forces on the ring means at the open bottom of said envelope to reverse peel it from said tree.
