Tubex Shrub Shelter

The Tubex Shrub Shelter is a high-quality tree guard designed specifically to protect young shrubs and bushy plants during their vital establishment phase. With a wider diameter of 130–160mm, it offers the ideal growing environment for a broad range of native and ornamental shrub species. Commonly used in forestry, countryside stewardship schemes, hedgerow establishment, and large-scale landscaping projects, this robust shelter guards plants from damage caused by browsing animals, weather exposure, and herbicide spray.

The twin-walled, UV-stabilised design helps create a warm, moist microclimate inside the shelter, accelerating early growth and improving survival rates. The flared top rim prevents stem chafing, reducing the risk of plant stress or damage during high winds. These shelters are also compatible with the Tubex Collection and Recycling Programme, supporting responsible disposal and reuse.

Perfect for landowners, contractors, landscape architects, forestry professionals, and estate managers looking to improve planting success rates and reduce maintenance costs.
