Vigilis Bio Wrap

The Vigilis Bio Wrap is a soil biodegradable spiral tree wrap designed to provide reliable protection for young trees, whips and newly planted hedging during the critical establishment period. Manufactured from a patented bio-based material, it delivers the strength of a rigid twin-wall guard while naturally breaking down in the soil after its functional life, leaving no plastic or microplastic residue behind.

Its innovative wrap-around design makes installation quick and straightforward while allowing the guard to expand as the plant grows. This helps reduce the risk of stem restriction and provides long-lasting protection without compromising healthy development. Designed to provide a minimum functional life of three years, the Vigilis Bio Wrap protects young planting from browsing damage before biodegrading naturally in normal soil conditions.

Supported by Innovate UK R&D funding, the Vigilis Bio Wrap is an ideal choice for forestry, hedgerow establishment, woodland creation, conservation and landscape planting projects looking to reduce plastic use while maintaining effective tree protection.
