Synthetic Cones

Synthetic Cones

The Synthetic Cones are cast in thick-walled insulating plastic with a speckled, textured surface. Because of the different diameters and heights, playful configurations can be created.
Large Synthetic Cones are suitable for trees up to a height of approx. 6m. The XL version is suitable for trees of up to approx. 10m due to the large volume of substrate. We recommend our Treetec® Bottom Up system for optimal tree care. The Treetec® Bottom Up system cannot be used with the low version.
All planters feature drainage holes and can easily be moved with a forklift truck (e.g. for long-term maintenance).
A Synthetic Cone in recycled Waste Grey or Waste Brown gives a sustainable alternative. Waste Grey comprises 55% recycled household plastic waste and 45% ‘virgin’ material and foam. Waste Brown is made from recycled HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), originating from within our own supply chain. It is therefore partially reused waste from Streetlife’s own production processes. The Synthetic Cone in recycled plastic has a speckled appearance, with visible small pieces of plastic, revealing the source of the recycled material. Color samples are available on request.

    Standard sizes of ca.Ø160×75 or Ø140×107 | Ø63×30" or Ø 55×42", custom sizes are not possible

    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
    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.
