Tubex VineGro (USA Grow Tube)

Tubex VineGro is the openable grow tube with optional installation methods to meet growers' needs. Manufactured from environmentally harmless polyethylene Tubex VineGro promotes good vine establishment for both the organic and conventional grower.

Tubex VineGro promotes;

  • Optimum light transmission - specially blended pigmentation allows blue and red light into the tube
  • Improved micro-climate - circular, translucent tube for optimum light diffusion and minimal heat absoption
  • Balanced root to shoot ratio - wide diameter allows full leaf expansion for photosynthesis, thick stems and strong roots

Tubex VineGro protects;

  • Twin wall rigidity - protection from mechanical maintenance and animal browsing
  • Circular tube - protection from accidental herbicide drift
  • Harmless to the environment - environmentally friendly polyethylene photodegrades after 4+ years

Tubex VineGro savings;

  • Lower labor costs; Reduced pruning (fewer side shoots), Less training (shoots naturally guided to cordon wire), Faster inspection/weed control
  • Harvesting of commercial crop typically one year earlier
  • Lower replanting costs - better survival rates
  • Greater return on investment - earlier cropping and UV stabilized for lifespan of 4+ years (can be reduced)

Hints and Tips

  • Lift from ground or remove four weeks before the first frost to allow the vine to 'sleep'
  • Insert tube 1" into the ground to enchance microclimate and increase sturdiness
  • Use a well driven stake or rod when installing the tube
