The 75cm Tubex Shrub Shelter Guard is designed to provide premium protection for larger shrubs and young trees in forestry, agricultural, and commercial planting projects. This robust tree shelter safeguards plants from wildlife such as hares, rabbits, and voles, which can damage or stunt growth.
Beyond wildlife protection, the Tubex Shrub Shelter Guard shields trees from accidental contact with herbicides used in weed control, allowing landowners and foresters to manage surrounding vegetation safely. By creating a protected micro-climate, the guard improves survival rates, encourages strong root development, and promotes healthy establishment of trees and shrubs.
The moisture-retentive design of the Tubex Shrub Shelter Guard helps plants survive dry periods by reducing water stress, making it ideal for forestry schemes, grant-funded tree planting initiatives, land restoration projects, and one-off commercial planting projects. Its durability ensures long-term protection, giving commercial and private landowners confidence that their investment in planting will thrive.
