ABSTRACT:
Trees, such as fruit bearing trees in drought-stricken areas, are individually watered to conserve the water supply while saving the valuable trees. A radially slotted tub-like irrigator engages around the tree trunk and delivers water in a controlled manner to both the tap roots and the peripheral root network of the tree. No water is wasted and the time span for irrigation can be adjusted. The device is characterized by simplicity and economy of manufacturing and ease of installation.
