Stake Placement
8″ Stakes
For flowers, fruits, vegetables, & other small garden plants: install one 8″ stake on either side of the plant
14″ DEEPDRIP® Watering Stakes
For shallow root plants like shrubs, vines, potted plants, & small/ornamental trees: install 2-3 of our 14” stakes around the plant in a triangle or on either side, close to the plant’s base but avoiding the root ball.
24″ DEEPDRIP® Watering Stakes
For medium trees, including existing or newly planted trees, fruit trees, and saplings: install 2- 3 of our 24″ stakes outside the tree root ball (new trees) or tree canopy (existing trees), either using 2 stakes on either side of the trunk or 3 in a triangle.
The tree canopy is the area bordered by the farthest reaching branches & leaves.
36″ DEEPDRIP® Watering Stakes
For large, established trees or palms: install our 36″ stakes 4-5 ft. apart within the tree’s canopy, avoiding the root ball. The larger the tree, the more stakes you will need.
