2 Pack - Treegator Original Slow Release Watering Bag for Trees

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.

Completely satisfied with this product and ease of use.

I had 2 expensive maple trees planted in my front yard last fall. I got tired of dragging the 100 feet of water hose to them and leaving it in the front yard to water these trees every 2-3 days. See we started into an extended drought that 10 months later we are still in a drought. I could fill these once a week and then later every 2 weeks into the winter. This spring I had to put them back on and start the process again. My trees are thankfully still alive and doing well. I highly recommend these for newly planted trees as they can be expensive a just the planting work alone is hard and I paid a professional to pickup and bring here to plant them. Great idea and I bought the real deal not a knockoff but they look like new after all this time.

Easy to set up, seems durable. Happy with purchase.

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.

Seems to work well. Nice to have a back up one.

Great for keeping dog urine off trunk of younger trees

Great .., wish I had used earlier … very nice in our drought conditions

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.
