The Tubex Tree Guard and Stake set is designed to protect young trees during their most vulnerable early growth stage. It helps prevent damage from grazing animals, wind exposure and accidental impact, significantly improving tree survival and establishment rates. Widely used in forestry, farming, woodland creation and native planting schemes, this Acres approved system provides reliable, long lasting protection in Irish conditions. Easy to install and suitable for a wide range of tree species, Tubex guards are an essential accessory for successful tree planting projects.

Best Use

Tubex Tree Guards are ideal for protecting newly planted trees in areas where grazing animals such as deer, rabbits or livestock are present. They are commonly used in forestry plantations, farm planting schemes, native woodland creation and environmental projects. The guard creates a sheltered microclimate around the young tree, encouraging upright growth while reducing stress caused by wind and exposure.

How to Install

Position the wooden stake firmly into the ground beside the newly planted tree, ensuring it is stable and upright. Slide the Tubex guard over the tree and secure it to the stake using the supplied fixings or ties. The guard should sit firmly at ground level and remain straight to allow the tree to grow freely inside. Ensure the tree has adequate space within the guard and is not restricted at the base.

Aftercare and Maintenance

Check guards periodically to ensure they remain securely attached to the stake and upright. As the tree grows, monitor its progress inside the guard and remove or adjust the guard once the tree has outgrown it. Tubex guards are durable and designed to withstand outdoor conditions, requiring minimal ongoing maintenance throughout the establishment period.

Uses and Benefits

Tubex Tree Guards help improve establishment success by protecting young trees from browsing damage, reducing wind stress and supporting straight, vertical growth. They are suitable for a wide range of native and ornamental tree species and are widely recognised as a reliable solution for tree protection in Irish planting projects. Acres approval makes them suitable for grant aided and professional planting schemes.
