How Often to Water

Refer to the charts below for a recommended watering schedule. Water capacity (litres) of Treegator Original is dependent upon bag setup and tree caliper (see below). Recommendations are based on a commonly referenced guideline of 38 litres (10 gallons) of water applied per 2.5 cm (1 inch) of tree caliper (diameter)*.

Single Bag Setup

Product Capacity	Trunk Caliper (diameter)	Recommended Fills
75 litres (20 gallons)	2.5 to 5 cm (1 to 2 inch)	1 Fill per week
56 to 54 litres (14.75 to 14.25 gallons)	5 to 7.5 cm (2 to 3 inch)	2 Fills per Week

Double Bag Setup

Product Capacity	Trunk Caliper (diameter)	Recommended Fills
89 litres (23.5 gallons)	10 to 13 cm (4 to 5 inch)	1 Fill per week
86 to 81 litres (22.75 to 21.5 gallons)	12 to 20 cm (5 to 8 inch)	2 Fills per Week

Note that during especially dry and/or hot periods of weather, these watering schedules may need to be increased. Also, trees and shrubs planted in sandy or porous soil should be watered more frequently. Conversely, during periods of rainfall / high moisture, a Treegator Bag should be filled less frequently*.

*Proper watering frequency can vary depending on several factors (tree and soil type, weather, etc.) This recommendation will NOT guarantee that your tree is being watered properly - Use it only as a guide. Consult a local gardening or tree care professional for more information on proper watering practices for your particular tree type and region.
