Choose a Tree Bag for newly planted trees when hand-watering is getting skipped; it delivers water slowly, but you still have to refill it and check that the root ball is actually getting moisture.
Buy This If
You planted a tree this season.
Watering by hose is inconsistent.
You want slower, deeper watering.
Skip This If
You cannot refill it regularly.
The trunk base is crowded.
You already have drip irrigation.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B
It does not add ornamental value, but it helps protect the tree you already paid for.
Growth Rate
B
It supports steady establishment by reducing drought stress, but it will not force a tree to grow faster than it should.
Maintenance
A-
It cuts down on hose time, but it still needs refilling, cleaning, and occasional repositioning.
Deer Resistance
A
Deer browsing is not a concern because this is a watering aid, not plant material.
Small Space Fit
B+
It fits neatly around many young tree trunks, but low branches or tight planting rings can get in the way.
Screening Value
C
It does not screen anything itself, but it can help new screening trees get established.

Our Experience
At PGNE, we would typically recommend a tree bag for new trees when watering consistency is the weak link, especially during dry stretches after planting.

Customers Usually Ask
Does this replace watering?
No, it makes watering slower and easier, but you still refill it.
Can I leave it on all season?
Use it during establishment, but check underneath and move or clean it as needed.
Is it only for large trees?
No, but the trunk and lower branching need enough clearance for the bag to sit correctly.
We use your zone to recommend plants that survive your winters, and to estimate when your

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!

Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
