Save Water in Your Garden with the Tree Teepee!

A few years ago, I bought a bunch of these tree teepees and have to say, they really do work! My trees got so much bigger and needed a lot less water after I started using them. AND they produced more fruit!

This guy Johnny and his Dad invented it to help protect trees from frost. It saves tons of water and keeps the tree warm and protects it from frost. Normally a tree needs like 25,000 gallons of water per year, and you can reduce that to 800 gallons per year with this thing.

Johnny Georges was on an episode of Shark Tank that is widely considered to be one of the greatest episodes in the show's history.
On the show, he told a great story about how he put 5 tree teepees on a woman's trees, because he was passionate about saving her trees from a frost that would be coming. She was angry at first because he did it without permission, but then she called him a week later and bought over 4,000, because all her trees died except the one he put the tree teepees on. You can watch the whole video here:

I bought some Tree TeePees from Johnny Georges' company back in 2021 and can attest, they really do work! My Wonderful Pomegranate tree had been struggling for a while, but it got REALLY FULL after I planted it in the ground! I also had to do much less watering for the trees I still have in pots. I also shared one with my neighbor, and she commented on how much better her orange tree was doing after she used it. I highly recommend these!

And this is Johnny's page where you can buy them!

Keep in mind that the shipping is about as much as the cost of each Tree Tee Pee. I was hoping to be able to find Tree Teepees in a garden center like Lowe's, in the hopes of being able to save on shipping, but couldn't find them anywhere locally. But I still think that even if they are $14 (total) each, if they save you tons of money on water and fertilizer (plus time in watering), it's well worth the cost, if they can give you so much more fruit!
