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 Pink Tree 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 Pink Tree 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 Pink Tree 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.
