Spiral tree guards provide great protection against voles, rabbits and hares, who often feed on young trees and hedges. Without protection these young trees and hedges will not survive. We offer a range of spiral tree guards made from 100% recycled PVC, which if installed correctly should last for at least 4 growing seasons. As our guards are made from PVC, they can withstand high levels of UV light without being weakened, this prevents the guards collapsing around young trees in summer months leaving trees unprotected.
Important features of the spiral tree guard
- Flexibility – flexibility is important to ensure the guard expands with the tree. If the guard became too tight you could run the risk of tree strangulation, rot or even disease.
- Ventilation – it has been proven that ventilation holes help reduce mildew etc which can cause issues with growth.
- We recommend that you support the spiral tree guard and plants with a Bamboo cane, this not only supports the young trees and hedges but supports the spiral tree guard too.
