tree guard

Bark protection fence

A tree guard is a protective barrier placed around a young tree's trunk to shield it from damage.

Guards prevent harm from lawn equipment, animal browsing, rodent gnawing, and harsh weather.

They typically wrap around the base or form a cage: We installed tree guards to keep the deer from rubbing their antlers on the saplings.
