Introducing the WaterUps Tree & Pot Reservoir™, a groundbreaking solution that revolutionizes tree planting and care. Designed to nurture young trees and promote robust root growth, this innovative product is a game-changer for tree planting programs, offering numerous benefits that extend beyond just greening our cities. With millions of trees to plant to combat climate change's future heat impacts, the WaterUps Tree & Pot Reservoir is the holy grail for councils, developers, and landscapers.

The WaterUps Tree & Pot Reservoir employs world-leading wicking technology, ensuring that trees receive moisture from underneath, via an inlet pipe above ground, a water reservoir in the base, and perlite that efficiently wicks water to the soil above. This reservoir also captures rainwater, reducing the need for frequent watering.

• Experience a 30% year-on-year increase in canopy growth during the first 3 years, resulting in trees twice as large as those without the Tree & Pot Reservoir.
• Save 90% on plant stock costs, as younger, smaller trees can be used, which establish faster and better.
• Reduce watering requirements by 75% during the first 18 months, leading to substantial labor savings.
• Conserve up to 80% more water compared to traditional above-ground watering methods.
• Made from 100% recycled plastic and proudly Australian-owned and made.
• Suitable for all tree species, including challenging, dry soil environments.

The WaterUps Tree and Pot Reservoir's innovative wicking system delivers moisture 450mm below the soil surface, encouraging roots to grow deeper away from surface water. This underground reservoir minimizes evaporation and surface seepage, ensuring water lasts longer, reducing maintenance visits and conserving resources.

The WaterUps Tree and Pot Reservoir is compact, measuring 400mm (w) x 400mm (d) x 130mm (h) and featuring a 600mm inlet pipe. It contains 1 wicking cell with 4 feet and holds 15 liters of water that wicks to the soil above, providing optimal moisture to saplings. It can be installed up to 600mm deep in soil to accommodate various tree sizes.

Additionally, it includes an Anti-tamper Lid, ensuring that only authorized personnel with a reservoir key can access and maintain the reservoir.
