Metal Tree Protector

I use a metal tree protector when planting into the paddocks or areas where plants could get knocked around by excitable dogs or children. These are fantastic as they are very strong, stable and durable. They also allow the plant ample protection from predators if you place them properly around the plant. They also allow total sunlight to get onto the plant which can be useful depending on what species you have planted

I was fortunate in that the previous owners here left quite a few commercially made ones for me to use. I have now designed my own and place them around the gardens and paddocks in various shapes and sizes to suit the specific plants.

You really do need strong stakes though as I find the predators are keen to get to the plant and will push against the sides and can often push the whole plant over.
