Root Guard Gopher Basket - 5 Gallon
Stop the Gopher Destruction!
Humane and effective, these sturdy baskets are superior to chicken or aviary wire for barring gophers from your plant's roots.
Just set the basket in the plant hole with the green wire above-ground to block the overland route. Put the plant inside, backfill with soil and you're done!
- Opening is 3/4" across the flats of the hexagon
- Steel wire strand is 20-guage and galvanized after weaving for ideal strength and corrosion resistance
- Because the gopher wire is hot-dipped galvanized after it is woven, it will easily last 6-10 years
- Open size is 12" diameter x 14" deep
- 30 gauge galvanized sheet metal seams

My community has gophers. Last year, I used these when I planted several new fruit trees in my 60+ tree orchard. I also planted blueberries but didn’t use the gopher baskets. The trees are doing great while the blueberries lost their roots. This year, I’ll be using these when I replant the berries.
I splurged on a gorgeous Coral Bark Maple tree......but didn't get the gopher basket. One day, the tree has fallen over. Reason? Gopher at the roots of my baby down to the nubs. The tree was traumatized, and is now recovering back in its original container. When it is ready to go back in the ground, it is getting planted with this cage protecting the rootball.
Our orchard is full of gopher tunnels so we put these baskets on every tree we planted. They really work and the gophers can’t get to our trees!
I have been using these baskets for more than 10 years. My garden and orchard have the toughest gophers around. And these baskets provide a great protection especially for young trees.
Received the baskets on time. It even beat amazon and Home Depot prices even after shipping
