Standard Vigilis Tree Shelter Packs with Stakes

Product Info:

Suregreen tree shelter tubes and stake packs are great value for money and off the customer everything they will need to install and effectively use our tree shelters.

The shelters themselves 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. 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.

Our tree shelters come with pre-fitted releasable tree ties (cable ties) for fixing to the timber tree stakes supplied. 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.
