HIGHLIGHT 2 PACK-15 Gallon Tree Watering Bag/Ring, Deep Root & Low-Profile Slow Release Watering Bag for Newly Planted, Multi-Trunk or Evergreen Tree

I love these so much!!! They're not meant to be moved every time you fill them. They don't leak any more than they're supposed to, they are good quality. While not the prettiest things ever, they're exactly what I needed for my trees in the mohave desert. They are super easy to use and in the week I've had them on the trees, I've seen a noticeable increase in the trees growth and vitality. I'm definitely ordering more!

I bought these in April 2024 and I've used them for four months to water some newly planted Arborvitae trees. I had some valves (that release the water) get blocked on one ring and had to throw it out. The rings do fade in the sun. But, they have not ripped and they are easy to fill with a hose, which I do when they are around the tree. The only issue I have had is that very often they do not empty all the way. On the positive side, they have kept my trees watered and healthy this summer.

I ordered these because I have an area that is not on the watering system and the hose doesn’t reach, they are durable and the concept is great but when filled, they extremely heavy and awkward to carry. These would be better suited for an area reachable by hose if your going on vacation and can’t water daily, but not suitable for my situation.

I was watering our recently planted arborvitaes and white pines daily, but since they were planted on an incline they were not retaining enough water. I thought we were going to lose them, but these bags helped save all the trees.

Updated June '20 - the new design has a larger hole, presumably for the people who complained they couldn't fill it (I never had this problem). The downside is that now you have to stand there with the hose, holding the end of the ring up in the air while it fills. It's heavy, and you can't get it to fill as well.But the bigger issue is the poor quality. The inlet plug on some doesn't seal so water leaks out, and after a few months - once a week, and keeping them in the garage out of the sun when not in use - they are one by one splitting at the center seam. Will not repurchase.***I use these in the summer once a week on my Japanese maples to keep them happy in the heat. The first two I purchased in 2019 both burst in the center at the start of their third summer. Of a second pair I bought, one of them doesn't seal completely at the inlet cap - unfortunately I didn't find out until it was too late to return it. All that said, for the price these do a good job - a standard hose just fits in the inlet, making it easy to fill. They drain over about 6-8 hours. If the tree is on a mound the emitters drain the bag nearly completely. If the tree is on a slope, you need to make sure one of the emitters is at the lowest point or the bag won't fully drain (makes sense). I think these are a good deal for the price and am about to order another pair.

I am very satisfied after several weeks of using these tree rings! They are saving my two newly planted trees during this awful heat wave. I have actually been filling them everyday, but I believe they are what is keeping my poor trees going. Sadly, I read the regular watering instructions for newly planted trees and stopped watering everyday, which was a huge mistake and stressed my tree horribly! Very happy to have these tree rings and for the price, they’re a bargain!

Product arrived quickly and in good condition. I was hoping that the water would last a couple days but it slowly releases in about 9-11 hours. I covered over one of the water valves to extend the distribution of water. So, may last for a day. It is a good way to get slow release of 14 ish gallons into the soil though.
