A tree baler is a machine that wraps trees to allow for easier shipment and storage. The aim of the device is to replace work that previously required hand-tying individual trees, on the land of commercial nurseries.[1]
According to the Berks-Mont News, the motorized christmas tree baler was invented in Pennsylvania, in 1944.[2]
