Know before you buy
The TreeMate is designed for a slow-release drip, typically emptying over a period of 5 to 9 hours depending on soil conditions and the tree's needs. This ensures deep root saturation rather than surface runoff.
Yes, the bag is designed to wrap around the base of young trees. For larger trunks, you can zip two bags together to accommodate a wider diameter.
It is recommended to remove or refill the bag once empty. Leaving an empty bag wrapped around a tree for extended periods can trap moisture against the bark and potentially cause rot or pest issues.
No tools are required. The bag features a simple wrap-around design that secures easily at the base of the tree, making it a straightforward, one-person installation.
It is best to avoid adding fertilizers or chemicals to the bag. These additives can clog the small drip emitters, preventing the consistent water flow the bag is designed to provide.
