The Tubex Nature™ Shrub Shelter 60cm is an eco-friendly, biodegradable shelter designed to protect larger shrubs, hedging plants, and bushy species during their critical growth phase. Sold individually, each tube has a generous diameter of 130–160 mm (sizes vary slightly due to nested packaging) to accommodate a wide range of plant types. It creates an ideal microclimate to boost survival and vigour and naturally biodegrades on-site, making it perfect for locations where shelter retrieval is difficult and eliminating waste and collection costs.

full description

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. Each shelter is sold individually, and due to the nested packaging per pack for transport efficiency, tube diameters vary between 130–160 mm, accommodating a wide range of plant species and ensuring optimal growth conditions. This shelter is ideal for areas where retrieval and recycling are difficult, offering a convenient in-situ biodegradation solution.

Key Features:
Biodegradable Material: Made from bio-based materials derived from sugarcane, corn, and starch, the shelter biodegrades into water and CO₂ over time through a microbiological process.
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.
Durable Construction: Features a flared rim to prevent stem abrasion and reinforced zip tie strips to ensure ties cannot be ripped out.
Easy Installation: Comes with pre-fitted, releasable cable zip ties, and tubes are nested in packs for transport but sold individually.

Areas of Use:
Landscaping projects with mixed planting stock
Forestry and woodland planting
Hedgerow establishment
Restoration of natural habitats
