Greenleaf Root Rain

Young trees lose water quickly in the first few years after planting, and drought stress is one of the biggest causes of transplant losses. The Root Rain range of tree watering and aeration systems delivers water and air straight to the roots, with four options built for different planting environments: Metro, Precinct, Civic and Urban.

Root Rain Metro

Root Rain Metro is a low-cost, straightforward tree waterer. It comes in a range of sizes to suit tree planting jobs of any scale.

Pipe diameter: 35mm.

Root Rain Precinct

Root Rain Precinct is designed for locations that need a permanent watering and aeration solution, such as tree pits set in paved surrounds or fitted with tree grilles. It has a heavy cast aluminium inlet with a lift swivel vented cap, an aluminium tee section and a 60mm distributor circuit for fast watering.

Specification: 100mm diameter cast inlet, circuit 60mm diameter.

Root Rain Civic

Root Rain Civic is a large capacity watering system used by contractors and architects for its straightforward installation and its ability to cope with fast watering. It uses the same tee section as the Precinct, with a powder coated aluminium inlet and a vented cap on a retainer chain.

Specification: 80mm aluminium inlet, circuit 60mm diameter.

Root Rain Urban

Root Rain Urban is a large capacity irrigation system with a fixed, non removable grid inlet that lets water and air through while keeping out litter and debris. It is designed for parkland and roadside verge tree planting, and the strimmer resistant inlet can be set below mowing machine height.

The system comprises a plastic tee section, perforated riser and push fit reducer inlet, with a 60mm PE pipe irrigation circuit available in a choice of lengths to suit the tree pit size. The inlet is moulded from polyethylene and forms a fixed, inset grid for easy watering. Once installed, this grid is the only part visible at the surface.

Root Rain Urban is easy to install and cost effective for larger planting schemes.
