Tree trunk protection tube for deer and bird damage — sturdy plastic guard for winter and year-round use Why you need it Protects young and mature fruit tree trunks from deer browsing and bird pecking, preventing bark damage that can reduce fruit yield or kill trees. Simple, fast barrier you can install before critical periods (autumn/winter and spring) to stop rubbing, chewing, and pecking without harming animals. Lightweight and compact for easy storage and transport between sites or seasons. Key benefits Immediate protection: side-opening design lets you place the guard around the trunk in seconds without removing branches or staking. Durable material: made from stable, impact-resistant plastic to withstand weather and minor knocks while maintaining airflow around the trunk. Portable and space-saving: low weight and compact form make it convenient for nurseries, small orchards, and home gardens. Main features Function: physical trunk guard to prevent damage from deer and birds; appropriate for winter protection and general tree care. Design: side-split tube for quick installation; holds its shape to keep animals away from bark. Material: sturdy plastic that resists moisture and rot; easy to clean and reuse. Performance: provides reliable mechanical protection while allowing light and air to reach the trunk. Compatibility Suitable for most small to medium fruit tree trunks and young ornamental trees. The side-opening design adapts to a range of trunk diameters (verify fit on larger trunks before installation). Works well in gardens, orchards, tree nurseries, allotments, and landscaping projects. Practical use scenarios 1) Winter protection for newly planted fruit trees: install the tube in late autumn to prevent deer rubbing antlers and birds pecking at sap wounds through the dormant season. 2) Orchard or backyard maintenance: quickly fit guards around young trees after pruning to prevent opportunistic browsing and bark stripping. 3) Nursery or transplant operations: protect trunks during transport, temporary storage, or while trees are establishing on a new site. Quick installation and care Open the side-split guard, wrap around the trunk at recommended height (cover the vulnerable bark area), and secure as needed with garden ties or wire. No special tools required. Remove in spring if desired to inspect bark and allow unrestricted growth, or leave in place for multi-season protection if clearance permits. Clean with water and mild detergent; store flat or stacked to save space. What to expect A reliable, reusable plastic trunk guard that reduces animal damage and supports tree health during critical growth and dormant periods. Easy handling and fast deployment across multiple trees makes this a practical addition to household gardens and small commercial plantings.
