1.2m (4ft) Tubex Biodegradable Nature Tree Deer Guard + 1.2m x 32mm Stake
The latest addition to the Tubex Tree Shelter range is the new Tubex Nature Tree Shelter, developed in response to the growing desire to reduce plastic usage in the tree planting industry.
The next generation of biodegradable tree shelters Tubex Nature is a new range of tree shelters designed to be biodegradable and non toxic, currently in trial across the UK*. Tubex Nature 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.
Although new to the market the Tubex Nature 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.
