Dress your trees in spring with our PLANT PROTECTORS

However, it is also important to use tree guards during spring, as they are not only useful for cold weather but also provide other benefits for our plants.

Do you want to know what these advantages are? Continue reading this GARDEN WEB post, where we will discuss the importance of their use and some specifications of the two most popular protectors among our online store users and nursery owners who visit our physical facilities: the combi mesh and the wraparound tubex.

Why is it important to use plant protectors in spring?

As we mentioned, plant protectors are mainly used to protect plant roots in winter. However, today we want to tell you why it is advisable to use this product in spring or at other times of the year:

• It creates a greenhouse effect inside the tube: in spring, there are also sudden temperature changes, so using a tree guard is not a bad idea as it creates an ideal atmosphere protected from adverse weather conditions.
• It promotes plant growth: the roots of plants, especially young ones, are very susceptible to external damage. Therefore, the tree guard is a good ally for crops as it can create a microclimate inside that optimizes their growth.
• It prevents other external damage: in addition to sudden temperature changes, plant protectors also prevent damage caused by animals, especially rodents. They are also very useful to prevent herbicides (if used) from coming into contact with the plant trunk.

What type of tree guard should I use for my plants?

Currently, there are different types of protectors on the market. Some have ventilation holes that do not create a greenhouse effect, specially indicated for some plantations and crops. Therefore, when choosing the protector for our plant, we must consider certain factors.

Among them, it's important to be clear about its objective, i.e., whether we only want to protect it from possible animal damage, from herbicides, or to improve its growth; the type of plant for which we are going to use it (considering height, resistance, etc.); We must also consider the area where we live and the climate throughout the year, as this influences temperature, humidity, light, etc.

In our online store, we have several types of plant protectors to adapt as much as possible to your needs. However, today we want to emphasize the two most popular models among users: wraparound tubex and combi mesh.

Combi mesh: half mesh, half tube

Our combi mesh is a tree guard that stands out for combining two types of systems: a mesh upper half and an opaque tube lower half. In this way, the opaque section protects plants from aggressive chemical products like herbicides, while the mesh section offers physical protection and ensures proper ventilation for the plants.

Optionally, the combi mesh can be placed with stakes like bamboo canes to reinforce protection against bites and other damage caused by animals.

Wraparound tubex: double-walled tube

The wraparound tubex is an open plant protector characterized by being self-enveloping and double-walled. Thanks to these features, the tubex regains its tubular shape once we place it around the plant trunk.

Thanks to its double layer, the wraparound tubex promotes the creation of a microclimate inside, which optimizes plant growth. This makes it especially useful for trees such as fruit trees, vineyards, and olive groves.

Other benefits of this agricultural tube's features are that it offers excellent protection against animals and rubbing. Additionally, due to its opening, both its placement around the trunk and its removal are very quick and simple.
