Tubex®
Shrub Shelters
The Tubex Shrubshelter range is a strong, wider diameter
treeshelter, designed to accommodate large and multi-stemmed
planting stock.
Tubex Shrubshelters will improve survival rates by protecting
plants from rabbits, mice and voles. Growth rates may be less
rapid than when using narrower diameter treeshelters.
The Tubex Shrubshelter should be well supported with a strong
stake to resist strong winds.
Application
Natural regeneration
of a seedling usually occurs under the shade of its parent where
conditions are characterized by lower light intensities, higher
humidity and reduced air movement, all of which combine to reduce
planting stress. Tubex Shrubshelters imitate these conditions
while providing a dependable approach to plant protection and
facilitating forest management. Correctly installed and used Tubex
Shrubshelters:
-
Reduce the stresses
associated with the seedling transfer from nursery to planting
site.
-
Reduce seedling losses
caused by animals.
-
Increase rate of
seedling survival after planting.
-
Improve overall
planting project success.
-
Reduce time spent on
inspection and maintenance.
-
Provide cost savings
by avoiding the need for fencing and enabling more efficient
herbicide applications.
