Designed for hard-to-reach areas where collection isn't possible, the Tubex Nature™ Shrub Shelter is biodegradable, and because of its wider diameter is suitable for the protection of larger bushier plants.
A good fit for landscaping projects with mixed planting stock, Tubex Nature Shrub Shelters™ provide plants with more space to grow – e.g. bushier stock such as Laurel, Hazel, Dogwood and Holly.
Tubex Nature™ is made from bio-based materials derived from sugarcane, corn & starch. It is externally tested against ISO 17556 to show soil biodegradability, and independently tested to show biodegradation on soil at ambient temperatures.
Tubex Nature products can be left to biodegrade in situ and will, over time, start to degrade and breakdown into water and CO2 through a microbiological process.
The Tubex Nature Shrub Shelter helps deliver an enhanced microclimate, encouraging growth, whilst protecting against animal browsing and herbicide spray.
Quick and easy to install, they have been designed to have a service life of 3-5 years*, boosting the survival rates in the early stages of a shrub’s life and are suitable for both bare root and cell grown plants.
*Product longevity is dependent on site and weather conditions and cannot be guaranteed.
Benefits:
Leave in situ to biodegrade.
Protects from browsing animals and herbicide spray.
Creates microclimate to promote healthy growth.
Easy installation – comes with pre-fitted releasable cable ties(s).
Installation :
