ABSTRACT:
A tree freeze protection and irrigation system includes a support stand having a plurality of prongs and having a foot step positioned between two said prongs for driving the support stand into the earth adjacent to a tree. The support stand has a water line coupling for attaching a water line thereto and has a passageway therethrough. A rigid pipe is removably attached at one end to the support stand and coupled to the passageway through the support stand and extends in a generally vertical direction when the prongs are anchored in the earth. A spray head is attached on the other end of the rigid pipe for dispersion of the water over a tree. Tree attaching members are provided for attaching the rigid pipe to an adjacent tree so that a free protection and irrigation system can spray a liquid directly above and onto a tree like a shower nozzle. The rigid pipe may include a plurality of rigid pipe sections for varying the length of the rigid pipe in accordance with the height of the tree. The stand may have two or four prongs, may have a shut-off valve, and may include a T-connector along with reinforcing angled brace members supporting the upright coupling portion for holding the rigid pipe.
