These distinctive, highly
visible, solid-walled pink tree guards are made
of UV stabilised coreflute plastic and are designed
to protect the seedlings from:
HERBICIDE
DRIFT
Most
rainforest species do not grow well in
competition with grasses, and are also
highly susceptible to contact with herbicide.
The Plant
PinkTree Guard
and weed
mat provide ideal protection for young
seedlings when herbicide is being used.
* Refer to Article
on Successful Forest Farming - section
3 - Sustainable Herbiciding
WIND
PROTECTION
Strong wind
can cause severe dehydra-tion of young seedlings
and can result in high losses. The Plant
PinkTree
Guard provides ideal protection from
strong winds in this early stage of growth
and also creates an environment of increased
humidity and sun protection.
PREDATION
Hares, rabbits and wallabies
can cause high losses and damage to young
seedlings. The Plant
PinkTree
Guard with its high walls and robust
structure provides excellent protection.
ADVERSE
CONDITIONS
This tree
guard will insulate seedlings from sand
blasting and frost, and also elevate humidity
and concentrate carbon dioxide levels for
improved growth.

- Suitable for orchards trees and advanced
trees.
We
can also design and construct tree guards
to suit any specific purpose.
Visible
light can be split into a spectrum
of colours. Green leaves absorb
light from the red fraction to
drive photosynthesis. Research
has demonstrated that the colour
pink reflects and focuses the
red fraction, concentrating this
photosynthetic energy to enhance
plant growth. (Other colours are
available on request)
All
Trees
For Earth Tree Guards (except
550 x 550 x 950) come with
a pointed, splinter-free durable
hardwood stake, a hillside fold
for sloping sites, and an optional
anchor pin for high wind zones.
Store in a cool, dry environment
