Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

first off;I am a certified tree and shrub specialist(by Davey Tree) and a horticulturalist so that may help with my review. the treegator is a well built device with many not-so-obvious features and also a few drawbacks it can: *give deep penetrating water to roots that would take a person with a hose about 20mins to do per tree *it can be stored flat as a shopping bag when not in use *it can (when full) provide some stability to the root ball during high winds it can't: * it can NOT be filled and then transported to the tree,when unzipped(when full) the bag sprawls out and can not be rezipped (until you empty the bag).this is important to anyone who wants to water a remote tree with no hose access. (i have 14acres and this is a problem)but if you are in hose reach you have no problem. tip; rotate the bag off-on every couple weeks to let the trunk get some sun and airflow.this will prevent mold from taking hold on the trunk or bugs nesting. i gave this product 5 stars because of its well thought out design.i have read some comments about the bag leaving a gallon or so in the bottom...this is a good thing as the weighted wet bag acts as a mulch"cap" to retain moisture under the bag i.e. the bag prevents evaporation and allows condensation to keep the bags footprint moist also,i don't know if the designers planned that but it does add to the overall root system hydration.
