Tubex Tree Shelter
Tubex Tree Shelters are an important tool when attempting to establish difficult to grow tree seedlings on challenging sites. Tubex tree shelters protect plants from browsing animals and have been specially designed to provide the right solution to your planting needs. These tree shelters provide a tree seedling with 5—7 years of durability and protection.

Tree Matting
The primary reason for early shelterbelt or windbreak failures is the lack of weed control, which results in poor growth and dead trees. Weed control should begin the year prior to planting and continue until the lower branches of the trees close in and shade out weeds and grasses. Good weed control involves a combination of good matting and regular maintenance.

4'x300' solid roll (with staples) - $80
The fabric resists tearing, puncturing and weed penetration while allowing air and water to get to the tree roots. When the fabric is used properly, it prevents weeds from growing around the trees. By reducing weed competition, you may see better growth rates and tree survivability. Using the matting also reduces the need for mowing, tilling and pulling weeds by hand.
