RootRain™ Irrigation & Aeration

The water from efficient tree irrigation is required not only for the biochemical processes involved in photosynthesis, respiration, and transport, but also for mechanical support to leaf and stem tissue. Insufficient (or inefficient) tree watering will result in loss of leaf turgor and a consequent reduction in new shoot extension. Eventually this will lead to die-back and, if not remedied, the loss of the tree.

Waiting until a tree shows a sign of drought stress before it is watered is known as ‘reactive’ tree irrigation. Whilst this might keep the tree alive, it will often result in stem die-back and possibly long-term structural defects in the tree. Research has shown that proactive tree irrigation, via implementation of a regular watering scheme, results in over three times the weight of new roots growing into back-filled soil material.

 

100% Recycled

Our irrigation & aeration systems are manufactured in the UK and made from 100% recycled material.

The Original RootRain

Launched in 1992, the RootRain Metro is the original and still the most specified tree irrigation system.

Adaptable to Suit

We are able to supply perforated pipe, or complete irrigation systems, in any length to suit any rootball size.
