Treegator Original Slow Release Watering Bag for Trees, The Original Tree Watering Bag, Ideal for new or established trees, Fits trees from 1 to 8 inches in trunk diameter, Made in USA, Green

The Treegator Original Slow Release Watering Bags have been a great solution for keeping newly planted trees properly watered. I originally purchased them after planting a new tree in my yard, and during an unusually dry spring, these bags really did the trick to help ensure good conditions during the tree’s critical first year. They’re easy to set up, hold a generous amount of water, and release it slowly over time, which encourages deep root growth. The material feels durable, and the zipper secures well around the trunk. It does take a while to fill each bag, and during that dry stretch I did have to refill them daily—but that was due to how dry conditions were, not a flaw in the product. One note: I wouldn’t recommend these for evergreen trees, as the design is better suited for deciduous or newly planted trees with accessible trunks. Overall, these bags remove a lot of the guesswork from tree watering and are especially helpful during hot or dry periods. A reliable, effective tool for helping young trees get established.

Works fabulously to keep our trees watered every year! Very good product!

Ordered this tree bag so we could keep our brand new tree alive. It does it's job perfectly. I on the other hand, do not. The only problem with this bag is that I kept forgetting to refill it. Also it is a pain in the butt if you don't have a hose that will reach the bag. BUT do not let that keep you from getting this little guy to keep your tree alive. It works great and I have had it for 3 years now and it still has not ripped or anything.

These work great. I have 7 of them for 7 trees and use them quite often. The bags take a few minutes to fill and 4-5 hours to drain (that can vary depending on random surface/placement conditions). The bag material is very nice and sturdy with reinforced "mesh" stitching. The zippers operate smoothly. The bags can be zipped in multiples together easily for larger trees. I have also used them to place next to smaller shrubs that I cant wrap around. There are two holes in the bottom that I can see that are the drip source. I also have added a cup of fish emulsion liquid fertilizer to the bags when watering, Ill see how that goes. (*Update below) Occasionally the holes at the bottom can become "pinched" underneath with a flap of material (*Update below), but that is easily remedied by picking the bag up and putting it down again. You can see when that happens if the bag hasn't drained a bit after an hour. I would easily recommend this product. Make sure your hose can reach. *Update: 1) several bags did stop draining. But it is fixable. The two holes exist inside the "tucked in" corner, and sometimes the pressure of the bag fill can + the placement can cause the hole to become clogged. I believe the placement is intentional for controlled release, but under certain conditions it stops itself shut. They would do well to place something around the hole to ensure it does not seal when compressed. 2) For the love of dogs do not use fish emulsion fertilizer with these. It is a trifecta of terror. Why? A) The bags never drain fully (which is fine to itself) 2) Flies absolutely love fish emulsion fertilizer for food and egg laying. 3) maggots thrive in these bags. It was an unpleasant discovery. I will still absolutely use fish emulsion for fertilizer, but I will simply apply it to the tree mulch directly (diluted, of course). Just not via the bags. I still love these things. But I am updating to 4/5 stars due to the corner flap periodically causing the drain holes to compress close (about 10% of the time). They need to engineer a small piece to prohibit this.

I have at least six of these bags now, and absolutely love them. When I planted my first trees a few years ago, I was following an excruciating schedule from the nursery -- the trees were establishing themselves nicely, but the daily, measured waterings were a real chore, especially when I had to leave town for a few days. Having seen the green bags on city trees all around town, I decided to give them a try. At first I tried the Treegator Junior bag, but had problems with holes developing and found it awkward to fill. Next I got one of these, and haven't looked back! The bag is extremely easy to fill -- you can just stick the hose in and walk away while it's working. The material is very sturdy, and has held up well through several seasons. I was concerned that I would have problems with excessive moisture against the trunk from so much plastic being in contact, but it has not been an issue so far. And of course, the most important part: it does a really good job of watering trees. Every tree I've used this on has taken beautifully, and is far leafier and maturing faster than nearby trees that were planted at the same time. My only complaint is that the weeping holes (through which the water drips into the root zone) do get clogged easily. The best way to avoid this seems to be tugging on the bag when it's about 1/4 full (as the manufacturer recommends) -- but also, making sure to keep a clean layer of mulch beneath it. As mulch breaks down and it gets closer to the dirt, it's much easier for the bag to become clogged. If you keep a layer of mulch that drains into the soil below, it should do much better. If you're planting a new tree, starting it off with a Treegator is essential. I also gave one to my sister, and she was able to revive a tree planted ~3 years ago that was struggling.

Sehr stabil, geht jede Menge Wasser rein. Aber Achtung, falls ein Mähroboter im Einsatz ist. Meiner hat sich an dem Wassersack festgefressen.

Great treegator. Exactly as described and advertised and very easy to fill up. The quality of the treegator is also exceptional in that the plastic is very thick - I was concerned that the opening could rip or tear when inserting and removing the watering hose over time, but I have been using this for over 2 years now and it still looks brand new! Highly recommended and would purchase again!

Delivery was fast as expected. Product performed as described. Our experience with these bags came after trying another brand which drained over only a 2-3 hour period. These drained over a 7 hour period allowing deep watering for our newly planted tree. Quality is first rate.

A number of new and expensive trees were planted, and as with most of these it is important to keep them well watered in the first two years or so. There are a number of different brands, but reviews suggest that the rate of water release with some of them left something to be desired. In this case, they worked perfectly, releasing their full load over say half a day. Interesting to note that the gardeners which maintain a large number of recently planted trees nearby have used this brand. Possibly more expensive that some others, but well made and does the job intended. Thoroughly recommended.

Die Bewässerung klappt sehr gut. Das Wasser läuft langsam, aber stetig über Stunden und versickert, statt zu verdunsten. Die Beutel sind sehr stabil und lassen sich gut per Reißverschluss verbinden. Einfache Befülluntg über eine verdeckte Öffnung zwischen den Schlaufen. Für einen Stammumfang bis etwa 70 cm reichen 2 Treegator.
