Say, DaveB -- I got an answer back from my buddy (Todd St. Sauver) on an approximate weight of cement in those 12-inch diameter tubes.
"They average 50 pounds but can vary quite a bit. We don't cut all tubes to the exact same length and we vary the amount of concrete by the size of the tree. Nothing scientific, we just WAG it. Less concrete for smaller trees, more for bigger ones."
Too many Dave's on this post!! :-) We better start adding initials.
