The Company is still a privately owned family business supplying its products not only in the UK but exports to over 30 different countries worldwide. With this environmentally friendly ethos the Company now launches a new fully bio-degradable Tree Shelter for the forestry sector. Rainbow is very proud of its green credentials with their motto of �shaping your environment� at the heart of all product innovation and development, it prides itself on using 100% recycled plastics in the production of the Tree Spiral Guards, so saving re-usable plastics ending in land-fill sites. Rainbow also handles the distribution of the highly regarded Rite Edge and Rite L Edge aluminium landscape edging systems for soft and hard landscaping needs.

The product portfolio also continues with a full range of metal Tree Protectors suitable for both urban and countryside environments. For the horticultural sector of the market the Company has a wide range of plant and bed labels with a variety of different plant labelling options. Originally founded in 1961 with the invention of the famous Rainbow Buckle Tree Tie the Company now operates from its 8000m2 site in East Yorkshire and produces a full range of products including the Rainbow Tree Spiral Guards, Defender Tree Shelters, Buckle Tree Ties, Chainlock and EasyFix strapping with cushions for trees, to the ground stabilisation systems of Rite Pave and Hexapath.

The Company is also very aware of the environment in which we all live and breathe and to this end use recycled materials wherever possible in the production of its products.

The cane should be placed inside the Tree Spiral with one third of its length pushed into the ground.WELCOME TO RAINBOW PROFESSIONAL One of the leading UK manufacturers and distributors with products aimed at the forestry, horticultural, landscape and amenity markets. Canes should be used in exposed sites for 38mm and 50mm diameter Tree Spirals and for all small trees below 60cm. In less exposed sites Tree Spirals will not require a cane support but you must ensure the young tree is exposed at the top of the spiral and has strong enough stem to support the extra growth without falling over. The use of recycled PVC also allows the re-use of valuable resources that would ultimately end-up in the landfill sites. PVC ultimately breaks down into minute inert particles through photo degradation which will not harm the earth around the tree plantation. Tree Spirals are manufactured using 100% recycled PVC and offers at least 4 growing seasons of protection even at high UV exposure levels. The overlap of the spiral must always be pointing upwards with the ventilation holes forming an arrow pattern also pointing upwards. It is most important that they are installed correctly to allow growth of the tree.

If the roots or branches were to be damaged on one side of a straight-grained. In straight-grained trees, the needles (or leaves, though spiral growth is more common in conifers) share water, photosynthate, and nutrients with the roots directly below them. Tree Spirals are manufactured in a range of colour options from Clear, Brown, Green, White and Green-Tint with many countries specifying certain colours in order for the planting scheme to blend in with the local environment. Another possible cause for spiral grain is to better distribute water around the tree.

Our experience shows that young trees develop better with ventilation holes, as this reduces the effects of mildew and leaf burn both of which will stunt growth but if using chemicals then a no holes option should be used. Its overlap design avoids the risk of strangulation of the tree and also offers protection against the use of chemicals. Oxford and Cambridge are locked in death spiral of competitive intolerance.
#SPIRAL TREES INSTALL#
They are extremely quick and easy to install and in most cases do not need additional tree stakes or fastenings to support them.Ī major benefit in using the Tree Spiral is their ability to grow with the trees as they mature. The Rainbow Tree Spiral is a low cost protection for young trees such as standards, seedling transplants and single stem hedge plant varieties against browsing animals such as rabbit, hare, sheep and roe deer.
