Leonard ArborRain™ Hydration System, 20 Gallon

Slow, Even Watering Means Maximum Usage by the Tree

ArborRain provides a great alternative for deep watering of newly planted trees and shrubs, helps to minimize "transplant shock", and helps established trees better withstand hot, dry conditions. High capacity 20-gallon model releases water over a 5 to 8 hour timeframe allowing water to permeate deep into the soil, hydrating both root ball and surrounding soil for complete coverage.

ArborRain is designed with a low profile to blend in better with the natural surroundings and the dark brown color dramatically reduces its visibility when used along with dark hardwood mulches. Fits up to 6-inch diameter trees. Multiple hydrators can be placed around the drip line of large established trees to alleviate stress from drought or new construction. Use ArborRain to protect your new tree investment!

    4 Stars Good Product

    TMW from MS wrote (October 13, 2011):

    It works well but there are several small problems. It does not completely empty making it hard to move and there needs to be a ridge or handle to keep it open when filling. I have not yet filled it without getting wet.

    3 Stars ArborRain doesn't live up

    Julia from OR wrote (October 13, 2011):

    In general this is a good concept, and one I like better than the upright green hydrators. However, I was disappointed that the material isn't more durable. Since it is placed on the ground, the ArborRain is vulnerable to puncture by roots, sticks and rocks. Which is exactly what happened the first time I moved mine. If the material were stronger and more durable, this would be a great product.

    4 Stars AR 20

    Beth from MI wrote (October 13, 2011):

    I think the AR 20 is the perfect size. I was able to water my trees on a schedule and only once a week all summer fit around the trees nicely and it was a lot easier than dragging a hose or a sprinkler sround the yard! The only downfall I saw was that if the ground around the base of the tree was not completely level the bag would not drain fully.

    4 Stars Looks great, works great on flat ground

    J. Sawyer from OH wrote (October 13, 2011):

    The flat design is a great leap forward. Its low profile makes it barely noticeable, even when full. If ground is not completely flat around the tree, I recommend the upright version.

    4 Stars Works as advertised

    Dave from MD wrote (September 30, 2011):

    I bought these to you around our newly planted plum trees. After using them for a while I realized that a soaker hose is just as effective if you have enough hose to reach your connection. These may be better suited to remote plantings when you have access to a trailered water tank since you have to fill them in place. I agree with the other posters that a quick-connect cap or other hands-free filling method would be nice. They work as advertised, but you may not need them.
