I purchased The Doughnut drip rings for 26 new Thuja Green Giant trees and 5 new Golden Emerald Arborvitae's. I will need to purchase more. I work full-time and this saves me time from watering…

Ease of watering for new trees for the first year

As a Senior, with no irrigation, it might be better than toting gallon detergent bottles of water from house to water my two Apple trees back and forth 2-3 times, each time my young trees need…

to help with watering trees that are far from the water faucet

When you plant new trees do you need to fill this every day or less than that?

The bag only needs to be filled 1-2 times per week. The high concentration of water will allow the tree to continuously feed off the water supply long after the bag is empty.

After the Donut bag is empty of the water, how does a person keep the bag from not blowing away in the wind ?    Are there anchors to secure it to the ground ?

We didn't use any anchors. Didn't really consider them actually. The bag is pretty big and heavy before it is filled and when it empties it retains some water as the ground isn't completely even. There was never an issue with it blowing away.

Can you adjust the drip rare?

You can adjust drip rate by enlarging the holes but you might risk ripping the fabric. I did not like the one I purchased I use a soaker hose on the 50 tree I have.

How often should  I add  water to donut per week?  We live in Washington  state.

We are in Idaho, zone 6b. We use these for our fruit trees and fill up once a week during the spring and fall, twice a week during the summer when it’s averaging over 90 degree temps.

Can I use on a fully grown fruit tree?

Yes you can

How long does it take the donut to empty once full?

Several hours

Is this "drinking water" quality? That is, will anything leech out of the doughnut material that will be absorbed by the fruit-bearing plant?

Thank you for reaching out to us. I am not sure I understand what you are meaning. These are not filled with water upon delivery. You will need to fill them using your water hose. I believe it is safe for the fruit bearing tree but if you are still concerned I would reach out to the manufacture to be sure.

Can you use this with the Green well water saver?

Hi Phil, I'm not really sure if they can be used together or not. If you decided to try it I would use the 24".

What is the maximum diameter of a tree that this can acommodate?

I've learned that that the inner circle is 6".

What is diameter of filled donut?

Wonderful product
I like the ring much better than the bag. The bag holds more water but it breaks my back holding it straight until it gets full enough to stand on its own. A word of caution, the lid is not attached.

Nice size. Would prefer a slower drip to empty bag.
Doughnut works well with smaller and younger trees still nice water weight doesn’t pot stress on the plant.

Wasn’t aware water would drip out within an hour or two. Thought it would drip out more slowly, helping to keep trees watered for up to several days.

Does not work as well as advertised I believe a soaker hose is more effective for me.
