🌱 Order Bio Spiral Guards – Eco-Friendly Protection for Young Trees 

The Bio Spiral Guard is a biodegradable and environmentally conscious solution for protecting young hedging plants where retrieval and recycling aren’t practical. Designed for sustainability, this tree guard naturally breaks down over time, making it a smart choice for eco-minded planting projects.

Produced by Rainbow, the original bio-based spiral guard has been independently tested and meets EU compostability standards. It’s proven to last over 3 years in typical UK and European forest conditions, even in varying temperatures.

Ideal for species like Hawthorn, Blackthorn, and Crabapple, Bio Spirals are tightly wrapped around young plants to shield them from rabbits, herbicide spray, and harsh weather. In many cases, no extra stakes or fixings are needed, making them a cost-effective and easy-to-use alternative to solid tubes.

• Made from biodegradable, bio-based material
• Breaks down naturally – no need for retrieval
• Tested to EU compostability standards
• Proven to last 3+ years in UK forest environments
• Protects against rabbits, wind, and herbicide spray
