Hessian tree guards offer several advantages when used for protecting young trees:
Protection from Physical Damage: Hessian guards act as a barrier against physical damage from animals, equipment, or people. This helps prevent accidental breakage or abrasion to the tree trunk and lower branches.
Climate Protection: They provide a microclimate around the tree by moderating temperature fluctuations and reducing wind exposure. This can be especially beneficial in harsh environments or during the early stages of growth when trees are vulnerable.
Pest and Herbivore Protection: Hessian guards can deter pests and herbivores like rabbits and deer, which might otherwise damage or feed on young tree bark and foliage.
Moisture Retention: They can help retain moisture around the base of the tree, which is particularly useful in dry conditions or when establishing new plantings.
Biodegradability: Hessian guards are typically biodegradable and environmentally friendly compared to plastic alternatives. They decompose over time, reducing waste and avoiding long-term environmental impact.
Support for Growth: By providing a supportive structure, hessian guards encourage vertical growth and help establish a straight trunk, which is important for the long-term health and stability of the tree.
Ease of Installation: They are relatively easy to install and remove, allowing for efficient maintenance and replacement as needed during the tree's early growth stages.
Overall, Axon 100% biodegradable hessian tree guards contribute to the successful establishment and growth of young trees by offering physical protection, climate moderation, and support against environmental stresses.
