Useful Spiral Tree Guard, 60 cm

Give young trees a safe start with the Useful Spiral Tree Guard from Smart Garden. This simple wrap around protector shields tender bark from nibbling rodents and grazing animals while allowing the sapling to breathe and grow on. At 60 cm tall, it covers the vulnerable lower stem where damage is most likely, helping you avoid ring barking and the setbacks that follow.

The flexible spiral design is easy to fit in seconds. Just wind it gently around the stem and it will stay in place without ties. As the tree thickens, the spiral expands to accommodate growth, providing excellent protection without endangering new shoots. It is ideal for fruit trees in orchards, newly planted hedging and specimen trees on open ground where rabbits, voles, sheep or deer may be present.

Use a single guard per stem, or combine with a stake and tie for extra stability in exposed sites. Leave the guard on through the vulnerable early years, then remove or loosen once the bark has toughened. A small investment that pays back with healthier, undamaged young trees.
