Digonal tiles 10 are provided between two side panels for enhancing the structural stability to the tree guard. A top panel/frame made of agrimesh or other loose woven sacking is provided at the top of the tree guard to protect the tree from chain, heavy rain and scorning sun. Reference is now made to Fig.2 the side panel P is made of hollow horizontal and vertical members 1 and 2 secured with each other such that to form a panel and adapted to be filled with water into it. The size of the horizontal and vertical members depends on the users requirements and the requirement of water to be filled in the panel. Reference is now made to Fig.4 the drive down drip feed pipe 7 is made of a hollow pipe having a solid thick cap 11 provided at the upper end thereof. A solid wedge/protected end is provided at the bottom of drip feed pipe 7 for facilitating the fixing of the drive down pipe deeper and deeper into the ground and said blocks with each other. Thus, it is seen that the tree guard provided by the present invention serves as a multi purpose for protecting the trees from the catties as well as provides water supply near the roots of the tree by drip feeding means and thus the wastage of water used watering the plants is avoided . The side panels are connected with other side panels by means of connector and thus the size of the tree guard can be increased as per the requirements of the user. WE CLAIM:- 1. A tree guard comprising a panel/frame made of hollow horizontal and vertical members secured with each other, openings being provided in the top horizontal member for providing water in the said structure, pickets being provided with the bottom horizontal member for fixing said panel into the ground, a hollow drive down pipe being provided with the bottom end of said panel such that to provide water near the roots of the tree, connectors being provided removably at the ends pf horizontal members for connecting said panels with the other panels so as to form a tree guard. 2.

This invention relates to a multi purpose tree guard.
In the known art the small. 1 trees are saved from cattle's by providing fencing made of bricks or by placing a drum having the holes therein. Further a metallic structure having side walls made of wiremesh which also used -for guarding the small trees from cattle's.
There are disadvantages associated with the tree guards known in the art* One of main disadvantage is that these tree guards, do not have means to provide drip feeding of the water near the roots of the tree.
Another disadvantage is that the size of the tree guards is fixed during the manufacturing of the tree guard and the size cannot be changed as par the requirements of the user.
Another disadvantage is that transportation of the tree guards is difficult.
Therefore the main object of this invention is to provide a navel construction of the tree guard which obviates the disarivctntagea associated in the known art.
Another object of this invention is to propose a novel tree guard having means for drip •feeding a-f the water near the roots of the tree and wastage of the water is avoided.
Yet another object o-f this invention is to propose a tree guard whose size can be adjusted as per the requirements cvf the user.
Still another object of this invention is to propose a navel tree guard in the form of a panels to make it easily transportable.
According to this invention there is provided a tree guard comprising a panel/frame made of hollow horizontal and vertical members secxired with each other, openings being provided in the top horizontal member -for providing water in the said structure, pickets
being provided with the bottom horizontal member for fixing said panel into the ground, a hollow drive down pipe being provided with the bottom end of said panel such that to provide water near the roots of the tree, connectors being provided removably at the ends of horizontal members for connecting said panel with the the other panels so as to form a tree guard.
In accordance with this invention the tree guard has a panel or frame made of any suitable
