![]() This will give the best chance of establishing a strong healthy root system with overall accelerated growth rates at even root-to-shoot ratio’s helping to achieve a healthy successful planting! For more information on pruning Click Here. We recommend that you prune and remove any unwanted suckers or lateral branches on your seedlings or bareroot trees prior to installing a grow tube. Please check the box for “FREE PUNCH” on the order page. NOTE: – Orders of 100 units or more of our 48-inch and 54-inch sizes will receive a free Staking and Ventilation Punch upon request. We can also supply custom heights on orders of 10,000 units or more. Depending upon the application, they can be anchored with a PVC, Steel, Wood, Fiberglass or Bamboo stake. All BLUE-X ® Grow Tubes are 3.5 inches (9 cm.) in diameter. For more information on the importance of blue light Click here.īLUE-X ® Grow Tubes are available in 15-inch (38 cm.), 24-inch (60 cm.), 30-inch (76 cm.), and 48-inch (122 cm.) and 54-inch (137 cm.) heights. ![]() This encourages diameter growth in trees, resulting in stronger trunks and branches as well as accelerate early vegetative growth. Some of the benefits of blue light are to boost root development during critical early stages of biological transition into the surrounding soil. 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. This step must be completed prior to anchoring to a stake or any hole punches for ventilation.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. Even up the ends of Part-A allowing a minimum of one-half inch (½”) of Part-B to extend above the top of the inner sheet (Part-A).The tensile strength of PET (Part-A) will form the tube when released inside of Part-B. To assemble a BLUE-X ® grow tube take a single sheet of blue plastic film (Part A), roll it up into approximately a 2” diameter cylinder and insert it into a blue-tinted poly sleeve (PART-B) which is open at both ends. ![]()
