Treegators--Great for street trees! C. H. Swigart, Huntingdon Borough Tree Commission Member from PA wrote March 21, 2011

Treegators are the best! As a Borough Tree Commission, we started using treegators last year on our newly-planted street trees. The treegators helped us to save time on watering and they enabled us to get enough water right to the root system and water deeply which is important for young trees. They are very easy to use.

Water more with less R. L. Young from TX wrote March 21, 2011

I live in the Texas "hill country" where in the past few years water has been an issue due to a lingering drought. As I've planted new trees I've added the gators out of convenience and necessity. Less time has to be spent watering and there is no waste. They are so simple to use and a good example of this is letting my 11 year old grandson do the watering this past weekend.

TREEGATOR DRIP SAVES THE DAY Paul B. from GA wrote February 26, 2011

I wanted to plant some expensive oak and maple 2-inch caliper trees at my weekend place 14 miles from town. It was a challenge to be able to water the trees daily as needed. The TREEGATOR system allowed me to plant these trees with a good probability of success. Thanks for the prompt and courteous response. I will be a repeat customer. Paul B., Dalton, Georgia
