Piddler Irrigation Systems

Drought stress remains one of the biggest contributors to high mortality rates of transplanted trees in their first few years of establishment.

Water is vital for tree growth and sustainability. Lack of regular watering in the early years will without a doubt cause irreparable damage to the tree.

During the summer period a 6cm girth tree will typically require at least 30 litres of water per month and a semi-mature tree, with a girth of 20cm or more, will need 300 litres of water per month.

The use of a ‘targeted’ irrigation system that delivers water directly to the root zone provides a huge benefit to the development of the tree.


The Piddler irrigation system offers the following improvements over traditional watering systems:

• Highly efficient delivery of water and air directly to the tree roots
  
• Effective supply of water evenly in both directions all the way around the rootball, drenching the soil laterally
  
• Minimal waste - no run off, evaporation or water escaping directly into the bottom of the tree pit
  
• Easy watering with a hose pipe through the debris cap or using the pressurised adapter for increased flow
  
• Quick to assemble, tailor to size and suitable for all rootball diameters
  
• Debris cap and unique membrane construction prevents blockages
  
• Membrane acts as a strategic root barrier, directing roots down into their ideal growing zone
  
• Compact system offers over traditional pipe solutions
  
• Piddler can be used in straight runs (i.e. hedges) and is also ideal for roof garden planting
