Tree Guards – a must to protect your young trees.

Getting ready to plant your tree seedlings? Have you considered using tree guards to protect them? With these days of winter rain, followed by days of sunshine, followed by more rain, now is the perfect time to get those young trees in the ground and well watered in before the warmer weather arrives. Whether you’re planting ten seedlings or hundreds, you want each one to have the best possible chance of survival. Our Tree Guards feature rigid, fluted walls that allow sufficient light to pass through, creating a safe and stable microclimate while maintaining humidity and reducing evaporative water loss. The great advantage of tree guards over plastic sleeves is that they are far less prone to collapse and attack by predators. The rigid walls can be sunk into the ground to give significant levels of protection against drying winds, chemical sprays and grazing animals. An investment in tree guards more than pays for itself, mainly as they can be used for up to four years. At Crackpots, we offer a range of sizes, from small shrubs to young trees, and we can pack and post anywhere in Western Australia. Call us for a quote or more info!
