When the grow tube is no longer needed on the vine or orchard tree, it can be removed by slitting the outer Poly Sleeve (PART-B). The inner sheet (Part-A) can then be stored flat out of the sunlight for reuse on the next planting. Blue-X® replacement Poly Sleeves are fraction of the cost of a new complete unit for those that recycle and reuse the inner sheet (Part-A).
Our Ploy Sleeve (PART-B) is manufactured from a (Low-Density Poly Ethelene), (LDPE), which is #4 recyclable. Only virgin materials are used to ensure consistent scattered light transmission to your tree or vine and UV stabilization to the Poly Sleeve. UV stabilization allows our Poly Sleeve to withstand the suns hash UV rays that might otherwise be affected by using recycled materials. Blue-X® grow tubes measure 3.5-inches in diameter and have an outdoor life of 3-5 years.
