A tree guard protects trees from deer rutting, power tools, and other animals and rodents. The tree guard wraps around a tree using a spring loaded coil that can expand as the tree grows. The tree guard is formed as a spiral piece of plastic that ensures a proper grip about the trees bark by its spring loaded features. The tree guard has a tapered design incorporated into the plastic that allows the tree guard to grip any tree trunk, from about ¾ inch to about 4 inches. The tree guard can further include perforations formed therethrough to allow air circulation to the tree. The tree guard can include a repellent scent blended into the plastic product to provide a tree guard that not only prevents animal injury to trees, but that also repels the animals from the trees in the first place.
