Tubex Nature™ Ventex
Our ventilated biodegradable tree shelter for warmer climates
Overview
Tubex Nature™ Ventex is our ventilated biodegradable tree shelter. Ideal for warmer climate areas due to its ventilation holes that improve growing conditions, designed for hard-to-reach areas where collection isn’t possible.
Ventex’s ventilated design results from research conducted along the INRAE (French Institute for Research in Agriculture, Food and Environment) to optimise the growing conditions inside the shelter: temperature, ventilation, humidity, CO2 concentration, and light transmission.
Product Benefits
Ventilated biodegradable tree shelter for trees in warmer climates
Ventilation holes at the bottom of the shelter allow upward air flow within the tube whilst still maintaining higher humidity. The perfect combination of higher moisture, increased carbon dioxide and ideal light transmission boosts stem diameter growth in dry warm conditions.
Made from bio-based materials derived from starch, plant and vegetable sources. Over time, they will breakdown into water and CO2 through a microbiological process.
Externally tested against OECD 207 & 208
Robust twin-walled construction tested to perform with an estimated 3 years service life, offering protection against browsing animals, whilst providing excellent light transmission to facilitate growth.
To secure extra ties on extremely exposed sites or during subsequent beat-up operations ensuring a strong connection to the supporting stake.
Includes pre-fitted re-release ties, and tubes come nested for easy transportation and storage, whilst maintaining original shape.
