Tree Protectors Nurture Healthier, More Productive Trees

Pacific Western’s innovative Tree Protectors help orchard growers produce healthy, fruit- and nut-laden trees and vines. Tree Protectors create an individual greenhouse effect for each plant, maintaining an even level of moisture that encourages faster, healthier growth.

At the same time, our Tree Protectors shield trees against natural elements such as predators, pests and herbicide sprays. They also help reduce labor costs during harvesting by preventing lower branches from growing on the trunk.

Tree Protectors are a must-have for any newly planted orchard. Not only do the greenhouse-like conditions encourage growth, they protect the fragile plants from rodents, herbicides, sunburn and frost. And, field-tested for more than 45 years, we can assure you they work, and work very well.

Made from poly coated bleached board, our Tree and Vine Protectors are 96% biodegradable and will last approximately 12 to 18 months, depending on field and weather conditions.

Our Vine Protectors Reduce Labor Costs While Preventing Potential Vine Damage

Grape growers and commercial nurseries rely on our Vine Protectors to accelerate vine growth and enhance vine survival. Designed to keep water in while keeping herbicides out, our Vine Protectors help plants grow taller before tying is needed, thus reducing labor costs. Additionally, our Vine Protectors prevent damage caused by wind, animals and chemical sprays, protecting vines until the plants are safely established.

While some nurseries still use milk cartons, field tests have proven that our Vine Protectors outperform traditional milk cartons. Vine Protectors are taller, with pre-punched holes that can be used to tie the Protectors to wire, as well as two slits in which bamboo can be inserted.
