I know you're trying to protect that young tree, but I can't imagine a wooden fence is going to last very long next to the curb.

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

It's better than nothing, and it can always be repaired.

... and it's illegal: http://www.nycgovparks.org/trees/tree-care/tree-guards
"Please keep in mind that all permitted tree guards are three-sided, at least 18 inches tall, installed on the outer perimeter of the tree bed, and are positioned at least one foot short of the curb with the curbside open."
... also, "Tree guards should allow for water to flow from the sidewalk into the tree pit. Please be sure to first apply for a Tree Work Permit with the Central Forestry office as all tree guards are required to have a permit prior to installation."
