The Tubex Nature™ Easysleeve is a biodegradable tree shelter designed to deliver rapid growth, protection, and survival for young trees and hedgerows during the critical early stages of establishment. Ideal for farmers, landowners, landscapers, tree planting contractors, forestry projects, and council planting schemes, the Nature Easysleeve provides a robust yet environmentally friendly solution for small-diameter trees, hedges, and landscaping plants.
This product replaces the Tubex Nature Easywrap range, offering enhanced performance with the classic twin-wall design, flared top, and tie-free installation. Fully biodegradable in situ, the Easysleeve eliminates the need for retrieval at the end of its service life, making it perfect for hard-to-access sites, hedgerows, or large-scale planting schemes where removal is impractical.
The twin-wall construction creates a protective microclimate that accelerates growth, increases survival rates, and shields young trees from herbivores, wind, and herbicide drift. Its excellent light transmission ensures photosynthesis is optimised while minimising stem abrasion thanks to the flared top design. Installation is quick and simple: simply slide the Easysleeve over the plant and secure it with a heavy-duty bamboo cane (12–14 lb or above)—no cable ties required.
With 60 cm and 75 cm height options, the Easysleeve accommodates small to medium hedge plants or slender young trees. Its nested design enables efficient transportation, storage, and site management, making it suitable for hedge planting, small-scale landscaping, professional tree planting contracts, forestry projects, and council amenity schemes.
Biodegradable in situ – Made from bio-based materials (starch, plant, and vegetable sources). Tested against ISO 17556 for soil biodegradability, breaking down naturally into water and CO₂ over time.
Non-toxic – Independently tested to OECD 207 & 208, safe for soil, plants, and wildlife.
Twin-wall construction – Provides structural strength while creating a microclimate for enhanced growth and protection.
Flared top design – Minimises stem abrasion, promotes straight growth, and improves wind resistance.
Rapid, tie-free installation – Easy to fit over the plant and a supporting bamboo cane. Saves time on large-scale planting schemes.
Nested for transport – Optimises logistics, storage, and site handling.
Lightweight and durable – Designed to last for up to 3 years depending on site and weather conditions.
Perfect for hedging – Smaller diameter is ideal for slender plants used in hedgerows, small-scale landscaping, and professional planting projects.
Excellent light transmission – Supports faster growth while maintaining protection from external elements.
