The tree is thus protected by a tough and resilient structure that resists the elements and animal pests. The water from Water Tube is distributed to the tree or plant via a specially made coil dripper which ensures the plant is continuously provided with water over a period of approximately 16 days. The Water Tube is then refilled after30 days. Company ProfileWater Tube Pty Ltd is an Australian owned company, registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
