A protector for seedlings or small trees is provided having top and bottom protective covers that may be used individually or may be snap locked together in a plural format. Each cover is made of a sheet of moulded pliable polymer material, capable of being folded along its center to form a living hinge. A channel-like portion to each side of the hinge is formed by a plurality of stacked shell-form bodies, each with a poly hourglass shape. A bottom end has a hole, typically of a two inch diameter, for surrounding the seedling. The top protective cover formed by the channel-like portions consists of a roof member that is adapted to collect water internally in the form of condensation and externally in the form of rain, and to disperse the water onto the plant. The bottom protective cover is open at its top end and has one male snap on each sidewall for mating with respective female slots on the top protective cover when connecting both covers. Spine members, one on each side of the channel-like portion, add strength and rigidity to the protective cover when it is open or folded in a closed position. These spine members also form part of a locking mechanism wherein single or dual wooden stakes or metal rods are weaved through locking straps on the spine members to create a very strong and superior locking system to prevent small rodents and larger animals like deer from reaching the protected seedling in the cavity area.
