King Innovation 44020 Sapling Soaker 15-Gallon Tree Watering Bag
Brand: King Innovation | SKU: 44020
Product Overview
A newly planted tree needs water at its roots, especially while it gets established. The King Innovation 44020 Sapling Soaker wraps around a 1–4 in. diameter trunk and holds up to 15 gallons. Two built-in emitters release water gradually over about 5–9 hours, giving it time to soak into the soil around the tree instead of running off during a quick hose watering.
The UV-resistant PVC bag is a useful option for new landscape trees and street-side plantings. Check trunk diameter and the space around the base before ordering. Fill it with clean water, then check soil moisture and adjust your refill schedule for the tree, soil, and weather; a fixed schedule will not suit every planting.

Compatibility & Use Notes
