These tree gurads arrive flat-packed. They are in fact tubular and return to the correct shape when their strapping is cut. Our Economy tree guards are supplied with releasable cable ties (one for the 60 cm guard and two for the 120cm guard). They require a stake and are generally used when planting whips and lightly feathered bareroot stock. They are not suitable for use with standards or fruit trees where you will find our Heavy Duty Tree guards serve you better.
