Abstract
Abstract An elongated cylinderical cannister assembly with many small apertures at the opposite ends filled with gravel and fertilizer pellets, is placed near the tree. This insures that water, air, and nutrition is carried to the outer ends of the roots. The deep root feeder is particularly useful in cities where trees grow through pavement openings.
