Spirals provide efficient low-cost protection from rabbits and herbicides; and often do not need additional tree stake or fastenings to support them.
Wrapped tightly around the tree, Spirals are beneficial in exposed sites and on small planting stock such as Hawthorn, Blackthorn or Crabapple and offer better value than solid tubes.
Survival and growth rates of trees tend to be higher if using solid Tubex shelters such as the Tubex Ecostart or Tubex Easywrap
