Description
The Whiptec tree shelter tubes are rigid, twin-walled, cylindrical tubes with a flared upper rim to limit bark abrasion. The Whiptec shelters create a micro-climate for the trees resulting in 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 Whiptec trees shelters not only help trees to develop stronger roots, but they provide vital protection from browsing animals. Suitable for a variety of applications including forestry, landscaping and on road verges.
These Whiptec Standard Tree Guards come complete with Releasable Cable Ties
