Protect the tender bark of young trees.
Protect your investment from gnawing animals, sun scald and more. Our lightweight perforated plastic spirals are easy to install and last for many years. Put them on right after you plant, which is when your new tree is most vulnerable. Occasionally adjust the spiral and let it “grow” with your tree, and remove any grass that may have grown up inside it. Also take care to keep lawn equipment from hitting the guards, which can girdle the tree, a major cause of mortality. Use Stark Tree Guards along with our Tree Circles to provide protection for both the trunk and roots.
Ships in packs of 3.
Options:
- Choose the 25 cm (10″) guard for columnar trees
- Choose the 50 cm (20″) guard for young trees
- Choose the 101 cm (40″) guard for larger trees

After I put these on my trees, all the rabbits gathered around, looking puzzled. They tried to chew more bark off my fruit trees and were left picking plastic out of their teeth. Now they live at the neighbor’s house.

Idea for use on small trees, I have used them for many years, and find them to do what they are made for. They protect from the small critters and help me identify the trees while cutting grass and spraying my yard.

The tree guards are easy to use and seem to offer adequate protection for a good price.

These flexible spiral tubes are easy to wrap around my young trees. They have done an excellent job of protecting them from winter freezing damage. And are just as easily removed and ready to use again next winter.

I have bought these in the past….Recently purchased more for my new fruit trees from stark brothers….It is definitely a great investment for new trees….Prevents bark from being damaged by weed trimmers… Or cats that like to sharpen their claws on the bark( which my own cat was guilty of doing)…Etc…….It expands as tree grows as well….Would recommend adding around your new trees!!

These are very easy to put on a tree. I have no rabbit or gopher damage at all using these. I plan on purchasing more each time I buy new trees. They are made of good quality material.

I purchased these for my new fruit trees last year and they worked great. They protected my trees, lasted without issue through the winter, were easy to apply and worth the price. Will purchase again

I’ve used these for 30+ years and they work. I’ve used these things many time on every fruit tree I’ve ever planted and no damage ever from freezing, rabbits, etc.
