- Stainless‑steel knitted weave protects plant roots and trunks from burrowing pests.

The Gonzo Gopher Shield Plant Protector is a heavy‑duty stainless‑steel mesh guard designed to safeguard new plantings from destructive underground pests such as gophers, moles, and voles. Built to fit 5‑gallon root balls and larger shrubs, its flexible knitted construction expands as plants mature, ensuring healthy root and trunk development without compression. Perfect for organic gardens and long‑term landscaping projects, this protective shield offers a simple, chemical‑free way to defend valuable plants from below‑ground damage year‑round.
Target Pests
Protects against gophers, moles, voles, and other burrowing pests known to chew through roots and damage young plantings.
Material & Construction
Made from stainless‑steel knitted mesh designed for long life, rust resistance, and flexibility during root expansion.
Where to Use
Ideal for gardens, landscape beds, orchards, vineyards, nurseries, and any planting site prone to subterranean pest activity.
How It Works
The mesh forms a physical barrier around the plant’s root ball and lower trunk, preventing pests from tunneling into the protected zone without impeding natural growth.
Installation Instructions
Open the shield into a circular shape, place the plant at the center, wrap the mesh up around the root ball and lower trunk, and plant as usual with the top edge above soil level for full protection.
Plant Compatibility
Designed for 5‑gallon container plants and shrubs but can be used with similarly sized root systems in landscape planting.
Size & Dimensions
Measures 16" x 20", offering ample protection area for medium to large new plantings.
Package Includes
One (1) stainless‑steel 5‑gallon gopher shield sized 16" x 20" for use with new container plantings.
