Tubex Tree Shelter / Tree Protection Kits

   

   

Tubex tree shelters protect young trees from damage caused by browsing animals. The Tubex Tree Shelter kits include 5 Tree Shelters (with bird mesh), 5 white oak stakes of equal length, 5 Vispore tree mulch mats and 4 sod staples per mulch mat.

Tubex Tree shelters are an important tool when attempting to establish difficult to grow tree seedlings on challenging sites. The tree shelters twin-walled, solid, translucent, tubes provide maximum protection from animal browse damage, wind, chemical sprays and equipment. Tubex tree shelters create a natural greenhouse environment with the tree shelter which promotes seedling growth. Foresters, wildlife managers, woodlot owners and tree planters consider the Tubex Treeshelter the standard for seedling protection. Tree guards are essential where tree mortality rates are high due to animal damage and climatic conditions.

Natural regeneration of a seedling usually occurs under the shade of its parent where conditions are characterized by lower light intensities, higher humidity and reduced air movement, all of which combine to reduce planting stress. Tubex treeshelters imitate these conditions while providing a dependable approach to plant protection and facilitating forest management.

• 5 tree guards (with plastic bird netting mesh)
• 5 oak tree stakes
• 5 Vispore mulch mats

Benefits of Tubex Tree Shelters

• The Tubex Treeshelter offers an exclusive, twin-walled, construction design for structural integrity, strength and durability.
• Tubex Treeshelters are extruded as a tube, not a flat sheet so no assembly is required.
• Superior long lasting and durable fastening ties are already threaded and looped in each Tubex Treeshelter, so no assembly is required.
• Tubex Treeshelters offer a unique exclusive laser line of perforations that run the length of the shelter, so that when a tree is ready to expand beyond the diameter of the treeshelter, the treeshelter will not interfere. The tree will split the treeshelter along the line.
• Tubex Treeshelters are constructed with a unique outward, flared rim to protect the tender young stem as it first emerges from the treeshelter. The tender seedling slides around on a smooth surface, not an unprotected, sharp edge.
• Tubex Treeshelters are constructed with durable strengthening rods that run the length of the Tubex Treeshelter to prevent ties from tearing through on windy sites.
• Tubex Treeshelters provide a tree seedling with 5 – 7 years of durability and protection.
• Tubex Treeshelters create a “mini-greenhouse” environment for tree seedlings. As the tree leaves transpire, moisture condenses on the inner walls of the treeshelter and rolls back down to the soil.
