Our Deep Drip tree root watering devices come in three lengths: 14 ½, 24 ½, and 36 inches. The 14 ½ inch unit is perfect for small trees and shrubs with shallow roots, like rose bushes, ornamental trees, or in commercial use for trees still in boxes. They are also great for hanging tomato plants, strawberry pots, large container pots, and to ensure a small new tree gets water to the root ball to ensure its survival in its first year.  The 24 ½ inch unit is used for your average trees in the first several years after planting, while the 36 inch unit may be used for very established trees, large palms, and deep rooted trees in general.

The devices are constructed of sturdy ABS. There are multiple holes in the bottom half of the spike, internally covered by a mesh filter that allows water to flow out, but keeps dirt from getting in, settling, and clogging the tube. The UV protected cap has multiple functions, as it acts as a protective/reinforced cover when hammering in to the ground, keeps rocks and leaves from entering the shaft, and holds the ¼ inch drip line securely in place. And in many parts of the country, the cap also protects the emitter head from squirrels or other animals.  Periodically, as the tree grows and roots extend farther away from the tree, repositioning the device beneath the outer edge of the tree's canopy is recommended. The upper shaft has two holes at the top so the user can remove and replace the unit as needed. Just insert a screwdriver or like tool through the holes and pull up.
