  • Ensures bark can get sufficient sun exposure.


Re-useable

  • Easy to use year after year with buttons. Snap onto tree, then pop apart at the end of the season. Buttons won't fall out of a Trunk Shield when it's opened again.

  • UV inhibited. Tested under a simulated three years of exposure to Arizona desert strength sunlight. No noticeable loss of strength or discoloration.
