Yes, the 60 or 75cm solid tubes are beneficial for a conifer to protect against mice and rabbits.
In order to be able to transport efficiently, Tubex are nested with four or five differing diametres. The impacts of diametre in a tubes are minimal for the tree although large leaved species are best suited for the larger tube
Once the tube is no longer needed, you will need a safety knife to safely remove the tree shelter without harming the tree or yourself, and bulk bags to place the old tree shelters for recycling – you can recycle them for FREE through our Tubex Collection & Recycling Programme. With the safety knife cut the tube from top to bottom enabling the tube to be removed from the tree. Remove the cable ties and the stake, and place the tubes vertically and nested together in the bulk bags.
