It’s my understanding that most trees take up water best at the drip line ( basically the outer edges of the branches) and it’s also best to feed out at that location
There is a clear plastic dome about the size of a bushel basket that suts on the ground that goes around a tree trunk for desert use that causes condensation to bead up on it's plastic walls then the moisture runs down into the ground to water the tree all caused by the heat of the sun
I have 6 of these exact bags.....love them....had them for over a year. Right after we fill them we also water the ground around the tree about 3 ft out.
But did you know that they do not decompose. That our ravine is full of them, now it's plastic garbage. The streets of the city are full of them, but no one uses them. There is no interest in collecting the plastic waste that tree watering bags create. But you have no interest in the environment, and this is very bad.
I had 6 of these for a year now and love them. We do however water about 3 ft out once every two weeks when we fill the bags if it has been really dry.
What about taking it off every other day ? Look's like it hold's about 5 gallon's, that should be good every other day. You think ?? Very good idea. Thank's. Stay safe and healthy. God bless
Pecan trees can produce nuts at as early 13 to 15 years but heavy production doesn't normally begin until they are 20 plus years old. They normally just need enough water, not flooded although I have seen them do well after one, to not feel like it's in a drought. Droughts can set them back, but they don't usually kill them. We had had 5 of them at our home in Fort Worth. 4 of them produced enough each year that they would fall faster than we could pick them and we always felt like we were walking on a sea of pecans. Our freezer and my mother's stayed full of pecans. We had 2 regular old pecans and 2 papershells and the 5th was a baby that was only 12 or 13 years old so not producing yet? But it came up as a volunteer near one of the papershells. Since there were pecan trees everywhere and the squirrels would scatter the nuts everywhere we were hoping the baby would turn out to be a papershell but we moved before I found out. Now the ones around use are doing good but we have had no luck getting 1 to grow in our yard here. Don't know if it is the GSM or what but it's like they hit a certain point and then just die. Your tree looks pretty good. I wish you success with it. If we still had our trees I would send you pounds of pecans. God Bless you and Wanda.
If there's any way possible to ruin your gray water drain Line close to the trees about 50 feet away. That lets the Earth clean the chemicals out of the water and the tree Root will find the moisture that what we have done for 40 years works great. Just a suggestion. ❤
What type of pecan tree is it? Do you have any more pecan trees on the property? You need a type 1 and type 2 to cross pollinate and all of nature they eventually will because I do have male and female part however if that helps
I use a much much cheaper method. I take two 7 gallon painting buckets and drill two holes with the smallest drill bit I can find at the very bottom of the outside bucket line. I place the buckets on opposite sides of the drip line. This gives the tree 14 gallons of water over about 2-4 hours. And no need to worry about damaging the bark. And it much easier to fill. Cost from zero to about $7. Can add more buckets if more capacity is needed.
By the way, if you're worried about getting the water deep enough pound some PVC pipe into the drip line at intervals around the tree and water through those. You can make them longer with little holes in them or shorter, maybe 2 feet with no holes or whatever works best in your soil. Helps get the water past surface drying and down where those tap roots can get to it before the sun sucks it up. Just don't put in so many you saturate the soil to the point your roots drown.
How about just turn the hose on drip and let it sit for a day around the drip line of the tree (where outer diameter of limbs are) so you don’t rot the base of the tree? Nothing to buy

Chris Young that’s what I came here to say
Just drill small holes in a 5 gallon bucket and fill with water and place near the tree. Cheaper and doesn't harm the tree.
What a cool idea. I hope it gives you many pecans. Much blessings :)

What a great idea! Yay for pecan pie!

@@nadejda3343 Where do you live? The streets are full of them??? I’ve never seen one of these in my life. These are not littered everywhere. Stop.
Been thinking about these for the project farm thx for the update

That was a really good idea! Thanks for sharing this!
Have a good one!
I have 6 of these and they work great. I have had them for over a year.
What a great invention!
Pecans are cross pollinators by wind maybe you don’t have them close enough in the right wind pattern
I have read (but can't remember where) that nut trees take 20 -25 years to mature before producing.
Our fruit trees are too far for hoses to reach but we could use our rain water catchment
To fill the bags. That would really help our newer fruit trees.
I am taking a thick black gabbage bag and try that with my trees..

Wow such a good idea....thanks...

That's awesome!
I need to get me a few of these

We've done things similar and it works great. Way to go!!!

Paul Addison that’s what I was thinking. Watching this.
And wood chips around, also keeps the weeds down.
I sure hope that solves your problem 😊
Now I have a visual reference when my wife states she is retaining water....
I find a better one on AMZ named Tree Watering Bag Suggested 5-48 Hours Adjustable Double-Outlet Slow Release Tree Watering Bag
👋😄
👍🏻
Holds 20 gals. of water

Where was this tried. I was considering using this idea in a developing country for reforestation.
