Protect young tree stems from deer, rodents and rabbits! Use on trees up to 3” in diameter. On larger trees and those with thin bark, you can attach several guards using white duct tape or zip ties.
- Tree guards should NOT be used on Tamarack, Balsam Fir, Arborvitae, Eastern Hemlock, Concolor Fir, Dogwood or Witch Hazel. Protect those conifers /shrubs (and other conifers or multi-stemmed trees/shrubs in your landscape) with wire caging.
- During installation, the white side of the tree guard should be facing outwards to reflect sunlight and to avoid frost cracking on the main stem.
