FAQs

How long do these guards last?

They are designed to provide effective protection for up to three years, accommodating the sapling's growth phase.

Can these be used on any tree species?

They are suitable for most young saplings and hedge plants that fit within the 38mm diameter constraint.

Does the guard inhibit the tree's growth?

No, the spiral design is flexible and expands as the trunk girth increases, while the air holes prevent mildew.

Are the bamboo canes reusable?

While the canes are sturdy, they are meant to support the guard throughout the sapling's growth; their longevity depends on environmental exposure.

Is the material recyclable?

Yes, the guards are made from recycled polypropylene, which is a widely recyclable plastic material.

Troubleshooting

Guard is slipping down the tree stem.

Ensure the guard is securely tied or braced against the included bamboo cane to maintain its height.

The plant inside seems to be struggling or showing mildew.

Check that the pre-cut holes are not obstructed by soil or debris and ensure the plant has adequate space inside the spiral.

Rabbits are still accessing the base of the plant.

Push the base of the spiral guard slightly into the soil to close any gap between the guard and the ground.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects vulnerable bark from rabbit chewing
  • Promotes healthy growth through superior airflow
  • Eco-friendly construction using recycled polypropylene
  • Easy to install with included bamboo canes
  • Expands to accommodate tree growth for up to three years

Cons

  • Requires manual installation for every individual plant
  • Limited to smaller saplings and hedge stems
  • May require replacement after three years due to material degradation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first drive the bamboo cane into the ground next to your sapling. Wrap the spiral tree guard around the stem of the plant. Ensure the guard is positioned securely against the cane so that the plant is supported against high winds.

These guards are compatible with most standard young hedge species and ornamental saplings. Regarding care, periodic inspection is recommended. While the guards are designed to expand, check every six months to ensure the spiral has not become entangled with low-hanging branches or that the cane has not shifted due to extreme weather. If the guard becomes covered in debris, a quick rinse with water is sufficient to keep the air holes clear.
