ABSTRACT:
A device for the irrigation of trees, both at the stand and lower trunk and branch areas of the tree. The device is composed of a decorative upper bell/funnel which can be mounted anywhere in a tree, a connected hose, and a lower bell/funnel connected to the other end of the hose. The upper funnel acts as a decorative object on the tree, while the lower funnel is placed concave down in the stand of the tree. The hose connecting the two funnels has a plurality of small holes along its length, and is attached to the trunk of the tree. In use, the user fills the upper funnel with water, which then travels through the hose towards the lower funnel located in the tree's stand. Some water dissipates from the small holes in the hose, thereby providing water for the trunk and lower branches, while the rest of the water exits the hose at the lower funnel into the stand, providing water for the tree to consume at a later time.
