Treegator® Original is a slow release watering bag that is perfect for newly planted or established trees from 1 to 8 inches in trunk diameter, with branches at least 25 inches from the ground. Treegator® provides slow, deep water saturation with every fill and is so efficient and so effective, on most new plantings, the bags only need to be to re-filled once every 5 to 7 days!
A Treegator® Original can easily be installed and filled in less than 5 minutes with no tools! No digging, no staking, and no parts to install or buy - It's as easy as zipping a jacket! Two bags can be tied together as well to create a Double Bag Setup for larger trees up to 8 inches in trunk diameter (caliper).
Refer to the charts below for a recommended watering schedule, being sure to note the following qualifications:
-
- • Water capacity (gallons) of Treegator® Original is dependent upon bag setup and tree trunk diameter (see below)
- • Recommendations are based on a commonly referenced guideline of 10 gallons of water applied per 1 inch of tree trunk diameter (caliper)*.
