The Rainbow Terra Biodegradable Shrub Shelter is a durable, soil-certified tree and shrub guard designed to protect larger rootball shrubs and broadleaf species in their crucial early years. With a height of 60cm and an extra-wide 120–150mm diameter, this eco-friendly shelter provides reliable protection while supporting long-term sustainability goals.
Made from a TÜV Austria OK Biodegradable SOIL-certified biopolymer blend, the Terra Shelter fully breaks down in the soil over approximately 5–7 years. This timeline aligns with the natural establishment phase of most planting schemes, removing the need for costly post-installation retrieval. Whether you're planting on farmland, in forestry zones, or implementing biodiversity action plans, this biodegradable tube offers a “fit-and-forget” solution—robust in the short term, and invisible in the long term.
Designed for easy deployment, it includes a pre-fitted tie and only requires a single stake for fast installation. Integrated ventilation promotes healthy airflow and prevents overheating, ensuring your shrubs thrive from day one.
From rewilding projects to estate boundary planting and agri-environment schemes, the Rainbow Terra Biodegradable Shrub Shelter provides reliable protection from rabbits, hares, herbicide drift, and mechanical damage, while helping landowners meet environmental and grant scheme requirements.
