(KSEE) Three California brothers have figured out an innovative way to protect young citrus trees from cold weather. 

They invented "Tree-Gloves," protective bags capable of creating micro climates.

The Cox brothers came up with the idea after a freeze back in December of 2013 that destroyed much of their family's citrus crop.

"They use a million different, tiny, little holes inside the bag that slows the release of heat but also allows the transmission of gas between the fabric," Ryan Cox explains.

Cox and his brothers just started selling tree gloves in September and they've already sold out for the year.
