Tubex Nature™ Shrub Shelter 60cm is an eco-friendly, biodegradable tree shelter designed to protect and enhance the growth of larger, bushier plants and shrubs. With a wide diameter of 130–160mm, it accommodates various plant species, ensuring optimal growth conditions. This shelter is particularly suitable for areas where retrieval and recycling are challenging, offering an in-situ biodegradation solution.​

Enhanced Protection: Provides robust defense against hares, rabbits, voles, herbicides, and mechanical operations, reducing plant mortality. ​
Microclimate Creation: The twin-walled design retains moisture and warmth, promoting healthier growth and improved survival rates. ​
