Use BLUE-X® Grapevine Shelters to:
•Increase plant growth up to 150%.
•Eliminate training the vine to the wire.
•Bring in the first crop up to a year early.
•Increase the yield of that first crop.

Use BLUE-X® Grapevine Shelters to create a beneficial microclimate for each grapevine. The increased humidity and carbon dioxide levels in the growtubes accelerate plant growth and enhance vine survival.
BLUE-X® Grapevine Shelters are available in 15 inch (38 cm.), 24 inch (60 cm.), 30 inch (76 cm.), and 48 inch (122 cm.) heights. All Grapevine Shelters are 3.5 inches (9 cm.) in diameter. We can also supply custom heights.
BLUE-X® Grapevine Shelters, a partially post consumer recycled product, are fabricated from a transparent blue tinted polyester film (PET), (PART-A). This blue film admits up to 100% more photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) than opaque polpropylene. PAR is the part of the light spectrum most used by plants.
