AB Landscape planting specifications routinely recommend or require the installation of some form of tree trunk protection. The most commonly specified material is a paper wrap, although research has shown problems with the use of paper wrap and has suggested other materials that should be considered. The current attitudes towards and use of tree trunk protective wraps, paints and devices by International Society of arboriculture members is reviewed, with suggestions for product and planting specification improvement.
