European company Ledasco has introduced TREEIB, a groundbreaking watering system designed specifically for mature and established trees. Developed through extensive scientific research, this Czech-engineered solution combines specialized watering methods with three distinct bag designs to optimize tree hydration. The system represents a significant advancement in urban forestry management, offering landscapers a new service opportunity while addressing critical environmental challenges.
Science-Backed Watering Methodology
TREEIB’s approach revolutionizes traditional tree care by delivering large water doses at low frequency along the canopy dripline and beyond. “Our research proves this method enhances trees’ aesthetic appearance, drought resistance, and root stability while boosting ecosystem services,” explains Martin Tušer, Ledasco’s Chief Researcher. Already adopted by a major California tree care company, TREEIB replaces less efficient deep soil injections while requiring minimal skilled labor—a game-changer for the industry.
Multiple Business Models for Landscapers
The system offers flexible implementation options: landscaping firms can provide watering as a service, rent the bags to clients, or sell them directly. Each durable bag features full-surface print capability, creating unique sponsorship opportunities. Beverage companies and other businesses can now combine brand promotion with environmental stewardship by sponsoring municipal tree care initiatives or private landscaping projects.
Creating a New Market Segment
Ledasco is spearheading industry transformation through an upcoming virtual roundtable, “New Opportunities for Landscapers: Watering Services for Mature Trees.” This Zoom event will unite North American green industry professionals to develop strategies for establishing mature tree watering as a profitable service category. The discussion aims to foster collaboration across sectors, including potential partnerships with marketing firms and software providers.
Environmental and Economic Benefits
TREEIB represents a rare convergence of ecological responsibility and business opportunity. By improving tree survival rates in urban environments, the system helps combat climate change effects while creating new revenue streams for landscapers. Its advertising potential further enhances value, enabling companies to demonstrate corporate social responsibility while gaining visibility in high-traffic public spaces. As cities worldwide grapple with urban heat islands and water conservation challenges, TREEIB offers a timely, scalable solution.
