FAQs

How long do these guards last?

They are designed to last for 2-4 seasons, depending on the local weather conditions.

Are these guards plastic-free?

Yes, they are made from moulded fibre and natural additives, making them fully biodegradable.

Will these guards harm my trees?

No, the integrated ventilation holes are specifically designed to prevent mould and ensure the tree can breathe.

Can I use these for all types of trees?

They are suitable for most standard saplings, provided the stem width fits comfortably within the 7cm x 7cm dimension.

Do I need to remove them?

They are compostable, so they do not necessarily require removal, but you may remove them if they degrade significantly after the 4-season mark.

Troubleshooting

Guard is tilting in high winds

Ensure the base is buried at least 2-3cm into the soil or use a bamboo cane alongside the guard for extra support.

Moisture accumulation inside the guard

Check that the top ventilation holes are not blocked by leaves or debris to allow proper airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fully compostable and eco-friendly
  • Prevents mould with built-in ventilation
  • Robust physical protection for young saplings
  • Reduces plastic waste in gardening landscapes
  • Suitable for a wide range of tree species

Cons

  • Limited lifespan of 2-4 seasons
  • Not intended for long-term permanent enclosure
  • Material may degrade faster in extremely wet climates

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward: slide the guard around the sapling, ensuring the stem is centered and the top ventilation holes are clear of debris. To ensure compatibility, verify that the 7cm x 7cm diameter is sufficient for your specific tree variety's initial trunk width. While these guards require no maintenance during their lifespan, you should inspect them annually for signs of advanced degradation or damage caused by high winds. When the guard reaches the end of its life, it can be left to compost naturally into the soil or removed and placed into a garden waste bin.
