Further information
Vigilis tree shelter tubes are rigid, twin-walled, cylindrical tubes with a flared upper rim to limit bark abrasion. They provide a micro-climate for trees, help them to develop stronger roots, and provide protection from browsing animals. Our Vigilis treeguards can be used in a variety of applications including forestry, landscaping and on road verges.
The primary purpose of our tree shelters is to protect the tree from rabbits, hares, muntjac deer, roe deer, fallow deer, red deer and much more. The micro-climate provided for trees results in a stronger initial establishment and a much higher tree survival rate. These micro-climatic conditions also help to increase air moisture within the tree shelter tube which can reduce water stress, ensuring the tree can last longer during drought conditions.
Nests & Bundles: Recommended purchase in Nests of 5’s. If ordered on an individual basis tree shelters diameter will vary within the selected range.
Pre-fitted with 2 releasable cable ties. Allows for easy installation and quick release for tree maintenance.
The polypropylene twin-walled tree protection tubes are solid and provide protection from herbicides so that areas around them can be sprayed to deter weed growth.
