Treegator® Slow Release Watering Bags can reduce your watering frequency by up to 80% or more!
One application of water from a Treegator® Slow Release Watering Bag will typically provide enough moisture to last a standard tree or shrub (1" to 3" caliper) planting for up to 5 - 7 days.*
Note that during especially dry and/or hot periods of weather, this schedule may need to be increased to one application every 2 - 3 days. Also, trees and shrubs planted in sandy or porous soil should be watered more frequently.
Conversely, during periods of high moisture, a Treegator® Bag may only need to be filled once every 7 - 10 days.*
*Proper watering frequency can vary depending on several factors (tree and soil type, weather, etc.) This recommendation will NOT guarantee that your tree is being watered properly - Use it only as a guide. Consult a local gardening or tree care professional for more information on proper watering practices for your particular tree type and region.
What are the Top 5 casuses of tree death?
Insects?… Disease?… Weather?…
NONE OF THE ABOVE.
The reality is that the top 5 causes of tree death are the result of things people do. Things like: soil compaction, underwatering, overwatering, vandalism, and the number one cause—planting the wrong tree—account for more tree deaths than all insect and disease-related tree deaths combined.

If a Treegator® Bag is empty in 5 to 8 hours, why won't it need to be filled again for another 5 to 7 days?
A Treegator® Slow Relese Watering Bag delivers water deep below the soil surface with no run-off - every time.
This means that there is now a high concentration of moisture within the entire soil profile that your new tree or shrub can feed from - potentially for several days.
And… after a deep watering application, allowing the soil to begin to dry out helps to encourages deep root growth.
Keeping the soil too moist for too long, or poor drainage at the planting site, can remove the oxygen available to the roots from within the soil and kill a tree or shrub.

"We really like Treegator®... it's a great time management device. We can water 100 trees a day with the device. Before (Treegator®), we could do only 15 to 16 trees. Treegator® (bags) are very easy to use. During establishment, we've really cut our (tree) losses."
