Drought stress is one of the biggest contributors to high mortality rates of transplanted trees in the first few years of planting. Water is vital for tree growth and sustainability, so trees require effective irrigation and aeration to avoid suffering irreparable damage.
In response to this, Platipus® has developed the Piddler® tree irrigation system, a special membrane that delivers water and air evenly and laterally around the rootball targeting the root zone directly. This cost effective solution is quick to assemble and can be tailored to any rootball size using scissors. The Piddler® system is lightweight and when compared with traditional pipe irrigation systems, offers significant freight cost savings.
