The 60cm Spiral Hedge Tree Guard is a reliable and cost-effective solution for protecting young trees, hedges, and saplings from wildlife and environmental damage. Designed for farmers, landowners, forestry contractors, and grant-funded planting schemes, it provides effective defence against rabbits, hares, voles, mice, and other small mammals, while also shielding trees from herbicide spray and chemical drift around planting areas.
Made from 100% recycled PVC, the Rainbow Spiral Hedge Tree Guard is both eco-friendly and durable, offering around four growing seasons of protection. Its spiral design grows with the tree, preventing constriction and ensuring healthy development over time. Available in clear or brown, these guards blend naturally into hedgerows and woodland edges, making them suitable for both aesthetic and ecological planting projects.
Ideal for hedgerow establishment, woodland creation, farmland planting, or conservation projects, the 60cm Spiral Hedge Tree Guard delivers dependable protection while remaining low-maintenance and cost-effective.
