Tree Guards & Protection Sleeves - BULK

When planting young trees, the first two years are critical to ensure their long-term success. Using tree guards and tree protection sleeves is essential during this establishment phase, especially under the harsh Australian conditions. Tree guards create a safe environment for young plants, shielding them from the heat and wind while also insulating against frost. They are also helpful for ongoing maintenance of the planting project by safeguarding the plant from spray drift during weed control and serving as a marker for watering and monitoring. Quality tree protection sleeves add an extra layer of protection by creating a physical barrier against foraging animals.

The most basic are the Milk Carton Guards. This product is the quickest to install and most budget friendly option, making it a popular choice for large scale revegetation projects. The Corflute Tree Guard is a much larger and more robust product, made from UV stabilised, corflute plastic. This style of guard will not only protect the growing plant, but improve growth rates by providing shelter from weather extremes and preventing evaporation. Corflute Tree Guards will last until the plant is established and can even be re-used. The premium option is the Beast Guard Tree Guard, providing all the advantages of the standard corflute guard, but larger and made from heavy duty corflute plastic. With the ability to fasten the guard with steel pins as well as a hardwood stake, the Beast Guard will stop the most determined animal predation.
