Protect young seedlings from wildlife browse.īLUE-X ® Grow Tubes were the first tree tubes offering the unique characteristics of enhanced blue light.Reduced drying and mechanical damage caused by wind.For almost 3 decades BLUE-X ® has been leading the way in reforestation and woody plant establishment with 95 to 100% success rates.īLUE-X ® Grow Tubes create a beneficial microclimate inside the shelter for each seedling, with: Our grow tubes help protect from chemical sprays, herbicide drift and provide non-chemical pest protection maximizing seedling growth and survival during critical early stages of plant development. BLUE-X ® Grow Tubes also protect your seedling investment from an excessive wind that can cause drying and mechanical damage.

When installed properly seedlings are protected from Deer, rodents, rabbits, and other herbivores. A seedling with enhanced early growth will always be ahead of a plant of the same age that does not have the growth advantage provided by a BLUE-X ® Tree Tube. Our grow tubes are packaged flat and the two pieces assemble very quickly.įield studies of BLUE-X ® Tree Tubes have documented increased growth rates averaging 100-150%, with certain species exceeding 500%. BLUE-X ® Grow Tubes are placed around seeds, seedlings or transplants at planting time, or retrofitted on existing seedlings. For accelerated growth, enhanced seedling survival, and reduced costs for commercial growers, reforestation projects, urban forests, and all tree planting projects large or small – use BLUE-X ® Grow Tubes.īLUE-X ® Grow Tubes are constructed using a patented two-piece method and are designed to protect young seedlings and accelerate early growth.
