Plastic Tree Shelter 1.5M [73-110mm] (5 Pack)

VentAir Plastic Tree Shelter 1.5M [73-110mm] (5 Pack)

Tube shelter protection with enhanced ventilation to reduce humidity build-up and lower disease risk in young trees.

The Vigilis VentAir Tree Shelter features perforations along the upper section of the tube that allow greater airflow compared with a standard solid shelter. This reduces humidity inside the shelter, which lowers the risk of fungal disease on susceptible species and produces a slightly more wind-hardened stem. The VentAir design is particularly well suited to broadleaved species in humid, lowland sites.

Vigilis VentAir Tree Guards are recyclable, rigid, twin-walled, cylindrical tree shelters with perforated holes. Our vented design allows for optimal air flow and light transmission. They provide crucial protection to saplings and encourage healthy growth and establishment.

Made using up to 30% post-consumer recycled polypropylene, reducing virgin plastic use without compromising performance.

VentAir Plastic Tree Shelter vs Easi-Fix Weldmesh Tree Guard - Which Should I Choose:

• Choose the standard Tree Shelter for maximum warmth and fastest establishment in cold or exposed locations.
• Choose the VentAir where humidity is a concern, for species prone to fungal disease, or where you prefer a harder, more wind-trained stem.
• Both provide equivalent browsing protection in the same five heights. Many foresters use solid shelters in upland plantings and VentAir in lowland broadleaf schemes.
