The 60cm Tubex Shrub Plus Shelter Guard is designed for larger-diameter shrubs, bushier plants, and hedges, providing superior protection in forestry, agricultural, and commercial planting projects. Its robust design safeguards plants from wildlife such as hares, rabbits, and voles, preventing damage that can stunt growth or reduce survival rates.
In addition to wildlife protection, the Tubex Shrub Plus Shelter Guard shields trees and shrubs from herbicides used in weed control, allowing safe vegetation management without harming valuable plants. By creating a protected micro-climate, the guard enhances survival, promotes stronger root development, and improves overall establishment of shrubs and trees.
The moisture-retentive properties help young plants thrive even in dry conditions, reducing water stress and supporting healthy growth. Ideal for forestry, grant-funded schemes, agricultural projects, land regeneration, and one-off commercial planting initiatives, the Tubex Shrub Plus Shelter Guard combines durability with long-term protection, ensuring your trees and shrubs flourish.
