Tree Watering Spikes, also known as Deep Root Watering Stakes, are very useful watering tools when you need to quickly send water to the root zone of trees and shrubs.
All you need to do is insert the spikes / stakes in a hole beside a tree or shrub, either 14", 24", or 36" deep into the ground, depending on which stake you choose. There are three different lengths available: 14" length for small shallow-rooted trees and shrubs, rose bushes, ornamental trees ; 24" length for average trees, potted palms, and flowering trees in their first years after planting ; and 36" length for established trees, palms, and deep-rooted trees.
You can use Tree Watering Spikes with garden hoses, drip irrigation systems, or flood irrigation systems. They also permit the use of water-soluble fertilizers. You can place fertilizer into the shaft and as water flows through, so do vital nutrients. Another great benefit of these Tree Watering Stakes is that they can provide much needed aeration to the trees. Oxygen can easily flow down through the spikes to the root zone, encouraging healthy growth.
The watering stakes are constructed with thick PVC and recyclable ABS plastic. Its UV protected cap acts as a protective and reinforced cover when hammering the stake into the ground. The cap is designed to withstand sledgehammer blows and can be installed in the toughest of soils. The cap also prevents leaves, rocks, and other debris entering the shaft and holds the 1/4" drip line securely in place, while protecting the emitter head from animal tampering.
