Provides inexpensive protection for young trees against damaging string trimmers, other gardening tools and equipment, as well as, rodents and other small pests. No more unsightly black pipes around the base of your trees with our 9 inch tall coils that were developed in an attractive grayish brown color to blend in with most tree bark. The round tube form supports itself and will not lose its shape in hot sun, unlike other tree guards that are manufactured flat. The slotted design allows airflow around the tree and protects against bark rot. For trees larger than 4 inch diameter, connect two or more coils using the handy expansion tabs. Manufactured from 100 percent recycled plastic materials. Pack includes twelve 9 inch coils. Also available in 6 packs and 100 packs.

Very Difficult to Snap Together Purchased twelve of these to protect three trees in my front and back yard. I encountered a lot of difficulty in snapping the two sides together once the device was around the tree trunk. In the end I used a pair of needle nose pliers to force the two ends together so that they would not separate over the winter.Had I to do it again, I would have ordered the longer black tree trunk protectors. More expensive however much easier to install and you can cut the black units down to fit…
Not great but doable Don’t let the picture fool you. I read other reviews but decided I wouldn’t have the same issues. Well I did and I didn’t. It is very short, but that’s ok because saplings are usually short and you do want your tree to stick out above. It says it expands, but it’s rolled like paper towels on a roll, so even when it’s unrolled it wants to stay rolled since it’s plastic. It is pretty firm plastic for how thin it is. The snaps are just wider that you have to shove into the holes that is not easy…
OK but several concerns about these Works well for medium trees but not as well for tiny trees. You need to use something to make the tree protector stand on its own if you are using it with a very small tree. Also the tabs are a bit too large to fit into the holes.
