These watering stakes are a perfect way to promote root growth of trees and small shrubs. The deep drip stakes deliver water directly to the roots.
Saturating the soil at a deep level will promote a tree's root system to send its roots down. Trees are more likely to survive long dry periods and be better anchored during extreme winds. If you have trees next to pathways, sidewalks, patios, or driveways, promoting a deep root system will prevent the common cracking and buckling of the surface area.
