Safeguard your trees with our selection of high-quality spiral tree guards, ensuring their healthy development and longevity in any environment.
A spiral tree guard is a protective cover that wraps around a tree's trunk. It helps keep the tree safe from animals like rabbits and deer, as well as from chemicals. The spiral design allows the guard to expand as the tree grows, so it won’t strangle the tree. These guards are useful for young trees, hedges and can also be used for larger trees.
How do you install a spiral tree guard?
To install a spiral tree guard, start by positioning the guard at the base of the tree. Unroll it and wrap it around the trunk, making sure the bottom edge is level with the ground. As you wrap the guard, ensure that it remains upright and is not too tight, allowing space for the tree to grow. Secure the guard so it stays in place without constricting the trunk.
When to remove spiral tree guards?
Spiral tree guards should be taken off when they are no longer effective, typically after they start to split or show signs of degradation, which usually happens within 5 to 10 years. Removing them at this point is important because damaged guards can restrict the tree’s growth. Additionally, once the tree has grown sufficiently and no longer requires support, or if the guard is degrading from sunlight exposure, it is time to remove it.
