The 60cm Rainbow BioWrap 50 Hedge Guard is a durable, biodegradable tree and hedge guard developed for professional forestry contractors, landowners, farmers, and estate managers. Manufactured from 100% plant-based biodegradable polymers, this environmentally responsible guard delivers effective protection for young trees, shrubs, and hedging plants against rabbits, hares, and small mammals.
Its flexible wrap design expands naturally as the plant grows, reducing the risk of girdling while allowing light and air to reach the developing stem. The 60cm length offers extended coverage—perfect for taller whips or exposed planting sites such as open countryside or rewilding schemes. Designed for short- to medium-term use, it provides 3–5 years of protection before decomposing into harmless organic matter, removing the need for retrieval or disposal.
The Rainbow BioWrap 50 is a top choice for woodland creation, hedgerow restoration, Countryside Stewardship schemes, and habitat enhancement projects, helping to meet sustainability and biodiversity targets without compromising on plant protection.
Size: 60cm height x 38–50mm diameter (nominal). Suitable for use with bamboo canes or wooden stakes (sold separately).
