Abstract: Pairs of tree ties are made from a section of flexible tube, each comprising a shorter tube head section at one end and a longer half tube tail extending from the tube head section and terminating at a threading tip at the opposite end of the tail for making a self tie loop through the tube head section for securely holding a tree to a support. Two parallel units in a tree tie pair are temporarily joined along a score line in a diametrically opposite orientation with respect to each other, wherein a cycle of die cutting forms a kiss cut that creates the score line and a separation indenture between a leading tree tie pair and a trailing tree tie pair.
