A tree bath is the ideal watering aid for trees. The bag is wrapped around the trunk like a jacket, zipped up and filled with water. This saves you water, time and money and you become a #treesaver
tree bath is already in about 4108 German cities and municipalities used for tree irrigation

Tree irrigation with tree bags
What are these green bags on the trees?
A baumbad watering bag is the quick and easy way to protect trees from the effects of climate change. In the video you will learn more about our product. (Detailed product video approx. 4min)

The water bag for your trees
Nature is the greatest gift on earth.
We cannot exist without trees, because without trees and plants there is no fresh oxygen. We at baumbad.de want to create awareness of this and therefore share important knowledge with you. In our guide you will find everything you need to know about trees and irrigation.
Drip irrigation describes a watering method in which the water is released into the ground, droplet by droplet, over a long period of time, in a very resource-saving manner. This allows the water to penetrate deep into the ground and reach the roots of the tree particularly well, which means that the tree can be optimally supplied with water.
If growth is delayed during the growing season, ie if the shoots are very short or the leaves are very small, then this is a clear sign of drought stress.
In spring and summer, drooping and wilting leaves, falling leaves and compressed growth (very short shoots) are clear signs that a tree is in dire need of water.
There is no general answer to this question. That depends on many factors, such as the type of tree, the size of the tree, the location, the nature of the soil, etc.
But there is a rule of thumb:
A medium-sized tree needs 150-200 liters per watering cycle.
Ie two fillings of one Baumbad watering bag or one filling of two connected watering bags.
Recommendation: 150-200l = 2-3 fillings of a tree bath watering bag per watering.
In addition, you can help city trees very well by loosening the upper layers of soil to break up the strong compaction of the soil in cities. This often means that when watering or when it rains, the water cannot penetrate the soil at all to reach the roots of the tree, but simply runs off the surface.
Does the tree bag always have to be attached to the tree?
Does the tree bag always have to be attached to the tree?
If the watering bag cannot be placed normally around the tree for whatever reason, e.g. branches close to the ground or other vegetation, the bag can also be placed next to the tree to be watered.
The tree bag is already very stable by itself and only needs a small amount of support, e.g. from a wooden rod or a metal rod.
Note: Be careful not to damage larger roots when inserting the support into the ground.
