Designed to provide cost effective early-stage protection while naturally biodegrading in situ, Tubex Nature Easysleeve offers a lightweight, practical solution for slender plants used in hedgerows and similar planting environments. The shelters are expected to perform for up to three years, supporting survival and establishment during the most vulnerable early stages of growth.
Nature Easysleeve is manufactured from a bio-based material blend derived from plant and vegetable sources. The material has been independently tested to demonstrate biodegradability both on soil and in soil at ambient temperatures, breaking down over time through a natural microbiological process. The product has also been tested against OECD 207 and 208, and it is non-toxic, supporting its use in environmentally sensitive planting schemes.
The shelters feature Tubex’s proven twin-wall design, creating a protective microclimate around young plants while maintaining strength and stability. Available in 0.6 metre and 0.75 metre heights, Nature Easysleeve is supplied nested for efficient transportation and storage.
With smaller diameters than standard tree shelters, Nature Easysleeve is suited to hedge planting and light landscaping applications, where ease of installation and reduced material weight are important considerations. The shelters are installed using a bamboo cane for support and do not require fixing ties, allowing for rapid deployment on site.
The launch of Nature Easysleeve reflects growing demand for biodegradable tree protection solutions in locations where retrieval and recycling are not feasible. It complements the existing Tubex Nature range, offering land managers, contractors and planting organisations a broader choice of protection options based on site access, planting scale and end-of-life considerations.
