Over 180 sites equipped in France, Switzerland, Germany… and beyond.
Sites equipped in the United Kingdom, Spain and Portugal have not been added: the map would have vanished under their sheer number.
Fitting, strength, results in the field — a few seconds say more than a long pitch.
Six short videos, in fitting order: from bending the guard to tying the top of the tree.
Using the staples and the staple twister.
They slow the growth of the trunk and create knots.
To follow the tree's growth and protect it higher up. With the Easy tied tool.
Cheaply, so the top of the tree does not end up wearing away against the guard.
The farming press and European trade shows follow Protecteur Cactus. Presented at the EURAF 2026 Congress.
Charles and Blandine Lienard invented Protecteur Cactus in the field, from a simple observation: young planted trees don't survive livestock or game. They needed sturdy protection, quick to fit and reusable.
