Here is a video of how to plant a new tree with a watering system. After about 2 years you would remove the tube - but just watch the video for how to do this!

I have to say the reason I am looking into this is that I have lost 3 trees in the last couple of years - new trees I tried to establish - and I don't think they got enough water so I am experimenting with better ways to start new trees. This one looks promising.
NOTE: I am just beginning to try to sort this out and it is really confusing with the different revisions which each have different re-print years. I may have made mistakes. Please comment if you see any. I'm sorting thru - Sept 2024 - and when I am done I will do a double check. So stay tuned to updates!
Since I am studying Virginia history I can't really get away from doing research on Matoaka even though there have been a thousand books written about her and I can't read them all. I am going to start by sorting out the first (?) book about her genealogy - below - there have been updates and different versions published since the original and I will sort that out here.
