The Rainbow BioWrap 50 Hedge Guard 40cm is a sustainable, fully biodegradable solution for protecting young hedging plants, trees, and native shrubs from animal browsing damage in forestry, conservation, and hedge planting schemes. Designed for professional use by contractors, landowners, and farmers, this eco-conscious guard is manufactured using 100% plant-based polymers that naturally break down over time, leaving no microplastics or landfill waste.
Its wrap-around design expands with plant growth, reducing the risk of girdling and stem restriction while maintaining robust protection against rabbits, hares, and other pests during the critical establishment phase. The Rainbow BioWrap 50 offers an effective 3–5 year lifespan, during which it naturally decomposes into water, carbon dioxide, and organic biomass—eliminating the need for post-project removal and reducing long-term maintenance costs.
Ideal for forestry planting, rewilding projects, Countryside Stewardship schemes, and agroforestry applications, this 40cm biodegradable tree guard supports sustainable land management practices while delivering reliable, cost-effective protection.
Size: 40cm high x 38–50mm diameter. Suitable for use with bamboo canes or stakes (not included).
