SKU: Shrub Shelters
Product Info:
Vigilis shrub shelter tubes are rigid, twin-walled shelters which are considerably wider than our tree shelters. They have been designed to provide protection for new shrubs and bushes and help to improve their growth. The key function of our shrub shelters is to protect the shrubs from browsing wildlife, as well as limiting damage caused by strong winds, herbicides, cold weather or water stress. They have a flared upper rim to minimise abrasion of the shrub's stem.
The twin wall tube provides a micro-climate within the shelter to create a warmer environment for the shrub, keeping moisture within the shelter and reducing the water stress imposed on the plants. Vigilis shrub shelter tubes come with pre-fitted releasable tree ties (cable ties) for fixing to timber tree stakes.
