Protect your newly planted tree whips and saplings from destructive vole and rodent browsing with the Tubex Vole Guard. Designed specifically for forestry, farmland, hedging projects, and Environmental Stewardship schemes, this practical and cost-effective vole guard helps reduce early-stage losses caused by bark stripping and gnawing. Its durable twin-wall construction forms a rigid barrier that safeguards young stems while allowing air circulation to prevent damp and encourage healthy growth.

Measuring 20cm tall with a compact 38mm internal diameter, the translucent vole guard fits snugly around small whips and narrow planting stock. The innovative overlapping wrap design allows the guard to expand as the plant grows, providing ongoing protection through early development stages. Easy to install with a single cane (sold separately), this guard is ideal for sites with known vole activity or where a larger tree shelter isn’t necessary.
