Existing vexar tubes or bamboo stakes may be re-used if in good condition. 2. For final removal or replacement of vexar, a cutting instrument may be required on some tubes to remove the material/plastic mesh so no damage is done to the lateral branches or top of the trees that might have previously grown through the vexar mesh. Vexar and bamboo may be left on site after removal and will need to be placed on the ground for quicker deterioration of material. 3. Spring operations are to be completed prior to tree bud elongation. 4. Installation of 6,000 total vexar tubes in addition to existing tube maintenance within Unit 6. The State shall provide vexar tubes and bamboo stakes for the installation in unit 6.
