GROW TUBES FOR TREES, VINES, SHRUBS AND PLANTS THAT PRODUCE STRONGER, BIGGER PLANTS FASTER FOR LESS!

Grow Tubes, also known as tree tubes or tree shelters create a beneficial microclimate to aid in vine and seedling establishment and survival.  Our grow tubes feature a patented two-piece construction that is designed to protect young vines and seedlings and accelerate early growth rates at sustained even root-to-shoot growth ratios. BLUE-X® grow tubes enable your trees, vines, and plants to make full use of nature’s beneficial blue light, providing optimal growing conditions for strong, vigorous, healthy growth.

Our grow tube is engineered to allow the proper balance of light waves and temperature at important early stages of biological transition. This helps boost critical early root development into the surrounding soils helping to increase stem and trunk diameters and overall growth rates.  A BLUE-X® grow tube blocks some of the transmission of harmful UV rays while sheltering trees, vines and plants from excessive wind and protecting them from chemical sprays and animal browse reducing environmental stress. BLUE-X® Grow Tubes are shipped flat and can be quickly assembled and installed into the field.
