Shrubtubs Square
They contain a volume of substrate up to a maximum of 5 m³ – 177 cu ft. and are suitable for shrubs, multi-stemmed trees. Bigger city trees depend on this substrate volume. The Treetec® Bottom Up nursing system is optional.
The Shrubtub Square is a beautiful, sleekly detailed product available with a special double-layer powder coating. The Shrubtubs can be easily relocated and have anchoring for the root ball. To prevent sagging due to soil pressure, the single-walled sides are reinforced with an upper frame. If necessary, this edge can be deepened to allow grilles to be installed.
The Treetec® Bottom Up system ensures adequate insulation, oxygen circulation, root ball fixing, irrigation and excess water drainage.

Treetec® Tree care system
Years of research and experience with countless urban projects have resulted in the Treetec® system which is applied in Streetlife’s tree tubs. The Treetec® tree care system allows trees to develop optimally in planters.
Treetec® Basic
Treetec® Basic is a basic care kit for ensuring healthy growth in tree planters. The kit consists of an oxygen circulation system, thermal insulation and sub-soil root ball fixing system.
Treetec® Bottom Up
With Treetec® Bottom Up, the water reservoir is situated at the bottom of the tree tub or tree isle. The reservoir’s capillary tubes provide improved water circulation that significantly reduces the frequency with which watering and maintenance are required in the growing season. Over time, the new Treetec® Bottom Up Biodegradable Column will decompose and be absorbed into the substrate.
The four stadiums of the Biodegradable Capillary Columns are depicted below:
- A The installation of the columns against the root cloth.
- B The first root growth in the column structure. First decrease of moisture-retaining fibers in the column.
- C Further root growth in the columns. Partial degradation of the cylindrical column.
- D A fully grown columnstructure has replaced he original capillary column. An optimal retention of water and oxygen by the roots now exists.
