ArborRain™ Tower Tree and Plant Hydrator

• 20 Gallon Slow Drip
• Locking Zipper Connects
• Black Liner Blocks Mold
• 5-Year Warranty

ArborRain Tower Tree and Plant Hydrator is a simple, dependable way to keep newly planted trees watered without standing there with a hose. Each green polyethylene tower holds about 20 gallons and drips slowly for 5 to 8 hours, putting water at the root zone instead of running off the surface. One bag fits trunks up to about 4 inches in diameter, and the locking zipper lets you connect multiple towers when you’re dealing with larger caliper trees. Our recommendation is to use it through the first hot stretch after planting, since steady, deep watering sets up a new tree for success.

Several design details make it practical for everyday landscape use. A black interior liner blocks light to help prevent mold growth and keeps drain holes clearer over time, while the sealed bottom edge avoids the uneven watering seen with stitched-bottom bags. Triple-stitched handles make positioning and filling easier, and the large opening speeds things up when you’re watering multiple trees. Note, it’s not free-standing, so it needs the tree trunk to support it, and it’s not recommended for trees under 1 inch in diameter.

Product Tips

• Set the empty bag around the trunk, zip it closed, then fill it so it settles evenly against the bark.
• On slopes, position the bag so the base sits snug to the soil to reduce water escaping downhill.
• Refill when the bag is fully drained, rather than topping off daily, to encourage deeper rooting.
• If you need more coverage for a larger trunk, connect a second tower using the zipper connection.
• Keep mulch pulled back an inch or two from the trunk so moisture isn’t held directly against bark.
