The 60cm Rainbow Terra Bio Tree Shelter is a plastic-free, biodegradable tree and vine protection solution, uniquely certified as Soil Biodegradable. Manufactured from plant resin and recycled natural wood residue from the UK, it provides an eco-conscious alternative for protecting trees and vines against mice, voles, rabbits, hares, and deer.
Designed with class-leading light transmission, the Terra shelter ensures trees grow at a natural rate, avoiding instability caused by rapid elongation. With a service life of around 5 years, it supports trees through the critical early growth stages while safely biodegrading over time without leaving harmful residues in soil, freshwater, or marine environments.
The shelter’s single-wall construction offers strength and durability while the flared rim reduces stem abrasion, allowing trees to grow freely. The Rainbow Terra Bio Tree Shelter is ideal for riparian restoration, woodland creation, hedgerow planting, and commercial forestry projects, offering high performance with a sustainable, environmentally responsible design.
