What are Watering Bags & Watering Stakes?

Watering bags and watering stakes are designed to help trees and plants receive deep, consistent hydration. Watering bags are zippered plastic bags that wrap around the base of a tree and slowly release water over several hours. After filling up the bags, which can support 15-20 gallons at a time, water gradually drips from small holes at the bottom, providing a deep, even watering. Watering stakes are hollow spikes that you insert into the soil near a plant’s root zone. You can pour water into the top of the stake, and it delivers water directly below the surface. Both options help plants thrive with less water waste and manual effort.

Tree Watering Stake & Bag FAQs

How long do tree bags take to empty?

Tree watering bags typically take 5 to 9 hours to empty completely. Depending on the amount of water in the irrigation bags and the number of drip holes, this timeline can vary. On occasion, sediment or debris can partially block the holes and slow the flow.

What are the benefits of using watering bags & stakes?

Tree watering spikes and bags are great tools to deliver deep, consistent watering right where it's needed most: the roots. These tree watering systems also save time, as you’ll only need to fill the bags and stakes a couple of times a week. They also reduce water waste and encourage stronger, deeper root systems for drought resistance.

Are irrigation stakes and bags for new trees or old trees?

Watering bags are ideal for newly planted trees, especially in the first few years. They deliver slow, deep watering to help young trees establish strong roots. On the other hand, irrigation stakes are more effective on order trees, as they drive water deep into the ground, near the well-established root system.
