Why Vigilis?
Why Vigilis?
Our Viligis tree shelters have been specially designed to protect trees efficiently and effectively. Therefore, we chose the name Vigilis: derived from the Latin word for a guard or sentry.
Utilising our unparalleled industry experience, the Vigilis team have designed and manufactured a tree shelter that can double – if not triple – the height of a young sapling over five years. At the same time, the tree produces fewer side branches inside a Vigilis tree shelter, improving timber quality and accelerating the cropping of both vines and fruit trees.
Alongside our traditional tree shelter range, we have designed, manufactured and brought to market a truly innovative tree shelter – Vigilis-Bio – that retains the performance and productivity benefits of traditional tree shelters but without the environmental burden of persistent plastics at the end of life.
Our Vigilis-Bio Tree Shelters are made from a special blend of bio-based derivatives (potatoes, wood and corn) and a custom biodegradable polymer. They will biodegrade in the soil and do not need collecting.
