The 60cm BioWrap 50 Hedge Tree Guard is a durable, biodegradable tree and hedge guard designed for professional planting schemes, including forestry, farmland, estates, and rewilding projects. Manufactured from 100% plant-based biodegradable polymers, this eco-friendly guard protects young trees, shrubs, and hedging plants from rabbits, hares, and small mammals, while supporting healthy growth and establishment.
Its flexible wrap design expands naturally as the plant grows, reducing the risk of girdling and allowing air and light to reach the stem. At 60cm in length, it offers extended coverage for taller whips or exposed planting sites, making it ideal for woodland creation, hedgerow restoration, and habitat enhancement schemes. The guard naturally decomposes in 3–5 years, leaving no microplastics or waste and eliminating the need for collection or disposal.
Perfect for Countryside Stewardship schemes, biodiversity net gain projects, and agricultural boundary planting, the BioWrap 50 combines effective plant protection with sustainability, helping landowners and contractors meet environmental and biodiversity targets.
