WhiptecBio Biodegradable Tree Guards
Biodegradable sleeves for hedging and whips. Nothing to collect once the plant is away.
A protective sleeve for whips and hedging plants that shields the stem from browsing and strimmer damage, then breaks down where it stands. On a large hedgerow planting the real saving is not the guard, it is never having to send someone back over the ground to pull plastic tubes out of an established hedge.
