60cm Tubex Nature™ Tree Shelter Guard – Biodegradable Tree Protection
Protect young trees naturally with the 60cm Tubex Nature™ Tree Shelter Guard, one of the most popular twin-walled tree shelters designed for hard-to-reach areas where collection isn’t possible. Made from bio-based, biodegradable materials, it provides a microclimate to support healthy root and stem growth while shielding saplings from wildlife, herbicides, and weeding damage.
