Amy J Thanks for the note on the pipe method. I assure you I'll not be planting any poplars, and did not plant the ones that are dying. But I sure think I should have been allowed to water them out of my own well -- given the subsurface water conditions we have here. tgptndr

Amy, Re: pipe material for underground watering of trees Yes, OT and about six months after your post. The pipe material you mentioned for the circular water supply system around trees is likely a perforated polyethylene pipe and is more likely 4" in diameter rather than 12". At least this is what I see for groundwater drainage systems and the new landscaping trees in the development at the bottom of the hill which replaced the "40 acre woods." Tree roots are much more of a problem with sewer lines since historically many were installed with open joints specifically to drain the ground. Of course, they also leak (but plug over time) but they used to head to the river anyway. Water mains are also susceptible but far less due to the much higher pipe strength (less deflection potential) and improved gaskets. -PT (I design water systems - well, not tonight <g>) -PT
