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.

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










tree bark protectors








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.

If you need to buy a tree protector I do recommend these for larger plants.
