Green Guard
The green guard solid design is suitable for protecting olive trees, vines, and natives from the elements, herbicide drift, vermin, and wildlife attacks. Each tree guard is made from a thick UV-stabilised rigid plastic for greater longevity and durability.
The guards have no sharp edges therefore no damage will occur to the plant from the installation. Only one hardwood or bamboo stake is needed for each tree guard. We recommend using an 88 – 10mm x 60cm or 10 – 12mm x 60cm stake. It is welded shut and ready to use.
Mesh Guard
A strong UV-stabilised polypropylene mesh tree guard comes pre-cut or on a roll. The 25m roll is used by the National Parks and Wildlife Service as a 1.35m tree guard to protect plants from wallabies and rabbits.
It’s popular because it can be cut to size with ease. Two bamboos (10-12mm x 75cm), hardwood stakes (17 x 17mm x 75cm), or steel fence posts are required for each mesh guard installation.
