How much frost protection does the tree T-PEE provide?
Most well water is 72-degrees. When using the tree T-PEE with a micro-sprinkler, the well water increases the temperature at the base of the tree by 10+ degrees. The micro-sprinkler spraying the 72-degree water against the inside walls cause a mist that encompasses the tree keeping the tree warmer.
How much water does the tree T-PEE conserve?
Every five gallons of water sprayed within the tree T-PEE equals three inches of rain on the young trees. By containing the water within the 24-inch base, the water is directed to the roots and saves approximately 90% water compared to traditional practices.
