Watering Bags - $20
New this year-- we are offering 15 gallon watering bags as part of our tree sale. These bags zip around the tree trunk and can be filled with water-- slowly releasing the water over 5-8 hours.  These bags are ideal for trees that are 5' and taller and at sites where a direct watering source isn't nearby. A single bag is great for trees 1-3 inches in caliper. Two bags can be zipped together for larger trees. 
Help needed! Volunteer to help with the tree sale. Learn more and sign up on the volunteer opportunity page.
