VENTEX<br />

With a patented design, the <strong>Tubex</strong> Ventex is the most popular<br />

shelter in Europe balancing the benefits of enhanced growth<br />

and reliable plant protection.<br />

<strong>Tubex</strong> Ventex is designed to last a minimum of 5 years*, boosting the<br />

chances of survival and healthy growth through the early stages of<br />

the tree’s life. <strong>Tubex</strong> Ventex improves growing conditions for trees by<br />

modifying the traditional treeshelter balance of C02, air humidity and<br />

light resulting in the perfect ‘equilibrium’. These modified conditions are<br />

produced through specifically sized and positioned ventilation holes as<br />

well as a light green colour to enhance light transmission. This shelter<br />

provides plant protection, however is better suited to an environment<br />

where herbicide spraying is not used.<br />

*shelter longevity is dependent on site and weather conditions but is typically 5-7 years<br />
