These trees are based in an extended tree pit that sits in recycled Permavoid plastic structures, similar to a honeycomb structure, which provides aeration to the soil and room for the tree roots to grow without being squashed. The base of the tree pit contains a monitored reservoir of water which provides water automatically to the trees when needed. As these trees are connected underground and receive more water that any other street trees, they are designed to grow much faster and healthier.
