DeWitt Dew Right Drip Irrigation Doughnut

The most critical period for any newly planted tree is the weeks immediately after transplanting — when roots are struggling to establish in new soil and water stress can set back growth significantly or cause early failure. The DeWitt Dew Right Drip Irrigation Doughnut eliminates that stress by wrapping around the base of the tree and slowly releasing water directly to the root zone over 5–8 hours — long, deep, even watering that penetrates to where roots need it most, with no runoff and no evaporation. Just wrap, fill, and let it work.

Slow, Deep Root Zone Watering — 5–8 Hours Per Fill

The difference between surface watering and slow-drip root zone watering is significant for newly transplanted trees. A quick spray from a hose delivers water to the soil surface where much of it runs off or evaporates before reaching deep roots. The Dew Right Doughnut delivers its full water volume slowly over 5–8 hours, allowing deep penetration into the root zone where newly transplanted trees need consistent moisture most. That slow, even delivery is exactly what stressed transplants need to establish successfully.

Prevents Runoff and Evaporation

Two of the biggest inefficiencies in tree watering are runoff — water that flows away from the tree before it can absorb — and evaporation from soil surfaces. The Dew Right Doughnut addresses both: the circular wrap design keeps water concentrated at the root zone rather than spreading outward, and the slow drip rate allows soil absorption to keep pace with delivery, minimizing surface evaporation losses.

Compatible With Nutrient and Chemical Additives

The Dew Right Doughnut is safe to use with nutrient solutions and chemical additives mixed into the water — allowing precise delivery of root stimulators, transplant fertilizers, or other treatments directly to the root zone alongside the water. That compatibility makes it a versatile tool beyond plain water delivery.
