Stark® Tree Guards

Rabbits chew. The sun scalds. Lawn mowers scrape. And string trimmers cut. In each case, the result is the same - a badly damaged tree. But it's so easy to protect the tender bark on young trees. We think you'll find that Tree Guards are the best way to protect young trees. These heavy-duty, perforated plastic spirals are easy to use and last for years. Just check them twice a year to make sure they haven't become too tight and to remove any grass that's grown inside. There's no better way to prevent the bark damage that so often harms young trees. Whatever you do, be careful not to hit tree guards with string trimmers. These helpful yard tools will decimate a tree guard and girdle trees up to five to seven years. Right now we believe this is the leading cause of tree mortality - one which can so easily be avoided. 10-inch for Colonnade trees, 20-inch for young trees and 40-inch for larger trees. Use our Typar® Tree Circles in conjunction with the Tree Guards for complete care for healthy tree trunks!
