Tubex Shrub Shelters give improved survival rates by protecting plants from hares, rabbits and voles and are mainly used for landscaping projects with mixed planting stock.
With a height of 60cm, and a diameter range of 130-160mm.
Higher air moisture within the Tubex shrub shelter reduces water stress and enables the plant to survive in dry or drought conditions. The Tubex Shrub Shelter also provides complete protection against small animals including rabbits, hare, and voles as well as herbicides in a way that is flexible, efficient and cost effective.
