75cm Tubex Nature Tree Shelter Guard Product Benefits

• Biodegradable tree shelter for enhanced growth and protection

Biodegradable in situ

• Tubex Nature™ Standard Tree Shelter is made from bio-based materials derived from sugarcane, corn & starch. It is externally tested against ISO 17556 to show soil biodegradability, and independently tested to show biodegradation on soil at ambient temperatures.
• Tubex Nature™ Standard Tree Shelter products can be left to biodegrade in situ and will, over time, start to degrade and breakdown into water and CO2 through a microbiological process.

Non-toxic

• Externally tested against OECD 207 & 208.

Proven performance

• Robust twin-walled construction tested to perform with an expected 3-5 years service life, offering protection against browsing animals, whilst providing excellent light transmission to facilitate growth.

Easy Installation

• Includes pre-fitted re-release ties, and tubes come nested for efficient transportation, storage and management on site, whilst maintaining original shape.

The Tubex Nature™ Standard Tree Shelter offers the next generation of biodegradable tree shelters Tubex Nature is a range of tree shelters designed to be biodegradable and non toxic. Tubex Nature™ Standard Tree Shelter is a solution for nature when collection is difficult or sometimes impossible, the most sustainable alternative solution designed for areas with dense woodland and difficult access where collection and recycling is not practical.

The Tubex Nature™ Standard Tree Shelter has undergone extensive laboratory testing under heightened climatic conditions. The Tubex Nature Shelter displays all the same characteristics of traditional Tubex Standard Shelters, protecting against rabbits, deer, hares and spray drift from herbicides. The expected lifespan of the Tubex Nature Shelter is 5 years in-situ, dependant on climatic conditions and location of planting. It is recommended at the end of its lifespan the shelter is removed and industrially composted.

TUBEX Nature will over time start to degrade and breakdown into water and CO2 by a process of microbiology, rate and time period of bio-degradation depending on soil and climatic conditions. Mulching or burying Tubex Nature at its end of life will significantly increase the rate of this process.
