The Flexibilitree Tree Hub
By combining our knowledge and years of experience, we have developed a proven solution for sustainable urban greening.We are pleased to tell you more about the structure, technical design and versatile applications of the Flexibilitree tree hub.
The Tree Hub
The Flexibilitree Tree Hub is more than just a tree container.
It is a mobile tree nursery that enables trees to continue growing healthily while creating green space in locations where underground planting is not possible due to cables, pipelines, sewer systems or contaminated soil.
With this system, municipalities and organisations can allow trees to mature temporarily before planting them permanently in open ground as part of future projects. Squares and streets are transformed into living nurseries that contribute to experience and quality today, and to lasting greening tomorrow.
🟢 Modular, sustainable and flexible: suitable for temporary projects as well as permanent applications.
Modular & Sustainable
Our tree hubs are modular in design. In the event of damage, there is no need to replace the entire unit – only the affected component. This reduces material use as well as costs.
The tree hubs are available in several finishes:
Corten steel – robust and low maintenance: scratches blend naturally into the surface, graffiti adheres poorly and stickers do not bond easily.
Powder coated steel – sleek, contemporary and available in any desired colour.
Recycled composite panels – partially manufactured from recycled plastics and available in a wide range of colours.
All units are designed for intensive outdoor use and can optionally be customised with logos or text. The structure can also be produced in CO₂ neutral steel.
Healthy Internal Climate
A distinctive feature of the tree hub is its integrated insulation. This ensures that the internal temperature remains stable throughout most of the year, at approximately 18°C. These conditions are ideal for healthy root development and prevent stress caused by excessive heat or cold.
Smart Irrigation System
Each tree hub is equipped as standard with a passive irrigation system that operates without electronics or batteries.
Prevents both overwatering and underwatering.
The integrated water buffer provides supply for approximately two weeks.
We monitor water levels, root ball moisture and temperature.
This system keeps trees healthy and reduces maintenance costs.
Materials and Dimensions
Flexibilitree tree hubs are available in a variety of materials and sizes. Among the material options you can choose from are:
Corten Steel
In this configuration, the side panels are manufactured from Corten steel. It is possible to opt for CO₂ neutral steel and to have your logo or text laser cut into the panels.
This version is available for rental or lease.
Round
This version is available in Corten steel and powder coated steel. It is possible to opt for CO₂ neutral steel and to have your logo or text laser cut into the panels.
Powder Coated
In this configuration, the side panels are finished with a durable powder coating. It is possible to opt for CO₂ neutral steel and to have your logo or text laser cut into the panels.
Circular
In this configuration, the side panels are partially manufactured from recycled plastic. It is possible to opt for CO₂ neutral steel for the structural components.
Dimensions
The standard dimensions in which the tree hubs are available are:
1,250 x 1,250 x 900 mm (L x W x H)
1,500 x 1,500 x 1,180 mm (L x W x H)
Custom sizes are, of course, available.
Can also be combined with lower shrub planters >>
Branding & Experience
Tree hubs are more than functional elements – they contribute to the identity and character of a place.
Logos or campaign visuals can be prominently displayed on the unit.
Corten steel panels can be laser cut with text or custom patterns.
Optional seating edges transform the hub into a natural meeting place.
Circular Options
The Flexibilitree tree hubs can be configured with circular solutions, including:
CO₂ neutral steel
Recycled plastic panels
Transport powered by HVO100 biofuel
Components produced through social employment programmes
These options make it possible to realise projects in a fully circular way.

Neem contact opFrequently Asked Questions – Tree Hub
+
How long can a tree remain in the tree hub?
Several years, depending on species, size and project objectives. Thanks to the Air-Pot® system and integrated irrigation, the tree remains healthy and vital.
+
Is customisation possible?
Yes, dimensions, colours and finishes can be fully tailored to the requirements of the project.
+
What are the advantages of Corten steel?
Scratches naturally blend into the surface, graffiti adheres poorly and stickers do not bond easily due to the protective rust layer.
+
Who is responsible for maintenance and watering?
This can be fully managed by us. We monitor the irrigation system and provide complete aftercare.
+
Can the tree hubs be produced in a circular way?
Yes, through the use of CO₂ neutral steel, recycled plastic panels, circular substrate solutions, HVO100 transport and socially responsible production.
+
Is rental or leasing possible?
Yes, both options are available. This allows Flexibilitree to be deployed in a flexible and accessible manner.
