Tree Shelter 75Cm X 8.5Cm (Green)

The protection of newly planted trees from damage by browsing animals is essential for successful woodland establishment. If trees are to survive and flourish then protection in the form of a tree shelter is necessary.  The chewing of shoots and stripping of bark from young trees by browsing animals such as rabbits, hare, roe and muntjac deer can retard the growth of young trees. It may in some cases even kill them outright, if bark is removed in a band around the stem. The favourable microclimate provided by the shelter will also promote rapid growth of young trees and afford protection if chemicals are to be used in the area of planting.
