Bio Tree Guard - 450mm Square Profile (18-month Biodegradable) - Low Cost, Biodegradable Protection for Reforestation & Seedlings

BIO Tree Guard - 450mm x 140mm Square - Low Cost, Biodegradable Protection for Reforestation

For large-scale planting and reforestation projects, cost-efficiency and environmental impact are paramount. This BIO Tree Guard delivers on both fronts, providing reliable, low-cost protection during the critical 18-month establishment period. Made from a majority wood fibre board with minimal PE coating, this guard provides a strong, rigid structure that deploys quickly using simple bamboo canes, offering a responsible and highly economical alternative to full plastic guards.

Best For The commercial reforestation project, environmental planting contractor, or large-scale grower requires a highly cost-effective, rigid, and biodegradable solution for protecting thousands of young seedlings over a short-to-medium establishment phase.

Key Features

• Cost-Effective Biodegradable Design: The guard is constructed primarily from 98% wood fibre board, making it a low-cost, environmentally responsible choice that naturally breaks down over time, reducing field clean-up labor and plastic waste.

• Structural Rigid Square Profile: The four-sided, 140mm square profile provides inherent structural rigidity, ensuring the guard stands firm against wind and light animal browsing with minimal staking effort.

• Easy Two-Stake Installation: Features two designated slots in opposite corners, designed to fit bamboo canes. This setup creates a strong, rigid guard that deploys quickly, minimizing labor time during mass planting.

• Optimal 18-Month Protection: Engineered for an approximate 18-month lifespan, providing critical shielding from herbicide drift, wind, and animals during the most vulnerable establishment phase, after which it naturally degrades.

• Effective Protection Zone: The 450mm height shields the entire lower trunk and initial canopy from environmental damage, ensuring a strong, straight central leader.
