Tubex Tree Tubes
Tubex Tree Shelters
3 Feet Tall - $2.89
Tubex Treeshelters are an important tool when attempting to establish difficult to grow tree seedlings on challenging sites. Developed in the United Kingdom in 1979, land managers in over 25
countries around the world are using millions of Tubex treeshelters to protect their valuable tree seedlings. The twin-walled, solid, translucent, tubes provide maximum protection from animal browse damage, wind, chemical sprays and equipment. In addition, the greenhouse environment created by the shelter promotes seedling growth.
Foresters, wildlife managers, woodlot owners and tree planters consider the Tubex Treeshelter the standard for seedling protection. We have seen it first hand in this oak seedling that was planted over 10 years ago. The tree was only 12” high at the time of planting and when the Tubex Treeshelter was installed the spring of 2006 no part of the tree could be seen. In one summer the plant has grown to what you see in the picture above. Pretty amazing since oak trees almost are never found in our area.
Tubex tree shelters can be used on all deciduous trees except apple trees. Too much moisture will be held around the stem.
Tips
If your boot print only sinks 1/4 inch then the seed bed is ready for small seeds like clover.
