Trees also absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere which helps to combat climate change. Plus, they’re very attractive! However, some young trees need all the help they can get to become securely established in their new home.

Do All New Trees Need to be Staked?
New trees, like all plants, need water, sunlight, and nutrients. But they may also need extra support to ensure that they grow upright. However, not all young trees need staking; in fact, most don’t. Staking trees that don’t need to be staked may cause the tree to grow fewer roots and develop a weak base.
So, when should you stake a tree?
If the tree is healthy and has a solid root system and sturdy trunk, it probably won’t need staking. Conifers, evergreens, and trees with branches that grow lower to the ground don’t require staking either. However, you should stake your tree if:
- It’s a bare-root tree or has a small root ball
- It’s planted in areas where there is a lot of footfall, for example, on a street
- It can’t stand on its own or it starts to lean
- It’s top heavy with no lower branches
Some trees, including oleander, acacia and eucalyptus trees will always require to be supported with tree planting stakes.
Tree Protectors
Tree protectors are essential for safeguarding young trees from environmental hazards and wildlife. These protective barriers help shield saplings from damage caused by wind, frost, herbicides, and animals. They also create a microclimate that can promote healthy growth by reducing water loss and protecting against pests. Sage Horticultural offers a variety of tree protectors to suit different needs, ensuring your young trees grow strong and healthy. Explore our range today to find the perfect solution for your gardening needs.
Tree Trunk Guard
A tree trunk guard is designed to provide an additional layer of protection to the vulnerable trunk of young trees. By wrapping around the base of the tree, these guards prevent damage from lawn equipment, animals, and harsh weather conditions. Made from durable materials, they can withstand various environmental pressures while allowing the tree to grow without hindrance.
Possum Tree Guard
Possums can cause significant damage to young trees by stripping them of their bark and leaves. A possum tree guard is an effective solution to prevent these nocturnal creatures from climbing and damaging your trees. These guards are typically made from smooth, durable materials that possums cannot easily grip, keeping them away from your precious plants.
Plastic Tree Guards
Plastic tree guards are a popular choice for protecting young trees due to their durability and ease of use. These guards are lightweight, cost-effective, and can be easily installed around the trunk of a tree. They protect against damage from wildlife, weather, and human activities, helping young trees establish themselves in their early growth stages.
Tree Guards for Deer
Deer can pose a significant threat to young trees, particularly in rural and forested areas. Tree guards designed specifically for deer are taller and more robust, providing a physical barrier that prevents deer from nibbling on the leaves and bark. These guards are crucial in areas with high deer populations, helping to preserve the health and vitality of young trees.
Biodegradable Tree Guards
For environmentally-conscious gardeners, biodegradable tree guards offer an eco-friendly solution to protecting young trees. Made from natural materials, these guards break down over time, eliminating the need for removal and reducing waste. They provide the same protection as traditional tree guards but with the added benefit of being sustainable and kind to the environment.
