What is Water Tube™?
Water Tube™ is a machine-blown polyethylene tube welded to form ribs creating
a robust sealed
tubular unit that can contain over 20 litres of water.
Installed around a small tree or plant in
much the
same way as a basic tree guard, Water Tube™ is held in place by
three wooden stakes.
The tree
is thus protected by a tough and resilient structure that resists
the elements and
animal pests.
The water from Water Tube™ is distributed to the tree or plant via a
specially made coil dripper
which ensures the plant is continuously provided
with water over a period of approximately
16 days.
The Water Tube™ is then refilled after 30 days.
A Complete Solution
Water Tube™ creates an entire protective microclimate that
maximises the young
tree’s
growing
chances. While filled with water, the
Water Tube™ offsets variation in climatic
conditions:
it warms the interior
when the atmosphere is cold and maintains cooler temperatures
in fierce
direct sunshine with an ultraviolet resistant outer jacket. Water Tube™ ensures higher
survival rates, reducing planting and cultivation costs and
increasing yield. Water Tube™ is
available in a larger flat form for
established trees – known as the Tree Well™.
