UQM Tree Trunk Protector – Metal Mesh Guards Kit with Gloves, Stakes & Ties (12-Pack)

Overview

Shield your trees with the UQM Tree Trunk Protector kit, a durable metal mesh system crafted to guard trunks from common damages while preserving essential airflow and sunlight. With a height of 17 inches and a diameter of 6 inches, this guard is designed to fit a range of trunks and can be expanded by linking panels for broader or taller specimens. This adaptability helps you tailor protection to each tree without compromising growth conditions.

Why it works

The breathable mesh design creates air channels that help keep the trunk surface dry and accessible to sun light, reducing moisture buildup that can otherwise lead to surface issues. The metal construction withstands outdoor wear longer than typical plastic guards, offering reliable use season after season.
