Polyflute corrugated plastic tree guards protect seedlings from pests, storms, and rain. Young trees planted in garden and lawn areas provide shade and ornamental value to the landscape. But weeds also sometimes encroach on areas near tree trunks, and while string trimmers cut weeds quickly, they can cause damage to the thin bark on young trees. To protect the trunk from damage, Polyflute® specially designed corrugated plastic tree guards. PP corrugated tree protectors make new saplings grow healthier.
Cover the soil around the root site of the seedling tree with appropriately sized PP corrugated tree protectors. But leave 2 inches of space between the trunk and the tree guards. This method inhibits weeds from growing near the trunk and helps prevent lawn grass from encroaching on the area.
Open a plastic tree guard along the open seam, slide the plastic tree protectors around the trunk and slide them down until their bottoms rest against the soil. Plastic corrugated tree protectors not only protect from mechanical damage, but also prevent rodents from chewing on the tender bark.
Pull out weeds growing through plastic tree protectors by hand. Use a string trimmer for weeds around the mulch area to prevent damage to the trunk.
People usually remove PP tree guards within one to two years as the saplings grow. The exact time depends on the species of the tree. Refill the mulch once or twice a year to maintain its depth, so it continues to suppress weed growth.
Corrugated plastic tree guards are made from polypropylene, a thermoplastic material. Polypropylene is very environmentally friendly and will not pollute the environment, and it is also a non-toxic material. By adding pigment particles to polypropylene, you can get the color you like. Therefore, many manufacturers will choose this material as a raw material to develop some new products.
