The 60cm Tubex Standard Tree Shelter Guard is a trusted and highly effective solution for protecting young or newly planted trees. Designed for forestry, agricultural, and commercial planting projects, this tree shelter safeguards saplings from rabbits, deer, hares, and general livestock, ensuring higher survival rates and healthier growth.
Beyond wildlife protection, the Tubex Standard Tree Shelter Guard shields young trees from herbicides, allowing safe weed management around the base of the tree without risking chemical damage. By creating a protective micro-climate, it encourages faster establishment, stronger root development, and improved overall growth, meaning smaller and more cost-effective trees can be planted without sacrificing survival.
The 60cm shelter is ideal for protection against rabbits, while taller 75cm and 1.2m variations provide defense against larger animals such as hares and muntjac deer. This durable and easy-to-install tree shelter is essential for forestry schemes, farmland planting, hedge planting, and environmental or commercial tree projects.
