Tubex Nature™ Shrub Shelter
Our largest diameter biodegradable tree shelter for shrubs and bushier plants
Overview
Tubex Nature™ Shrub Shelter
Nature™ Shrub Shelter is our biodegradable shrub shelter designed to protect and enhance the growth of larger bushier plants with its wide diameter, designed for hard-to-reach areas where collection isn’t possible.
Shrub Shelter is ideally suited to landscaping projects with mixed planting stock. The enhanced microclimate helps retain moisture and improves growth and survival rates, while offering protection against hares, rabbits and voles, as well as herbicides and weeding. Unlike spiral or net products, which can become embedded in the branches and bark of growing shrubs, Nature shrub shelter is quick and easy to install.
Product Benefits
Widest diameter biodegradable tree shelter for shrubs
With diameters ranging from 130mm – 160mm, Nature Shrub Shelter offers the proven benefits of tree protection to bushier plants and shrubs that need extra space to grow. It is commonly used in landscaping projects with mixed planting stock.
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.
Externally tested against OECD 207 & 208
Robust twin-walled construction tested to perform with an expected 3-5 years service life, offering an improved microclimate, and protection against hares, rabbits and voles, herbicides and mechanical operations.
Unlike spiral or net products, which can become embedded in the branches and bark of growing shrubs, Nature shrub shelter is quick and easy to install. Includes pre-fitted re-release ties, and tubes come nested for easy transportation and storage, whilst maintaining original shape.
