Abstract
A combination support and irrigator for a planting having an upwardly extending trunk is disclosed. The device includes a housing having an upper end, a lower end and defining an interior chamber. The lower end is adapted to be positioned on a ground support surface while an opening at the upper end of the housing is dimensioned to circumscribe the trunk of the planting and limit the deflection of the trunk. A plurality of stakes extend downwardly from a lower end of the housing and are adapted for insertion into the ground support surface. At least one of the stakes includes a fluid passage extending between a distal end of the stake and the interior chamber of the housing so that a liquid contained within the housing flows from the housing chamber, through the stake and into the ground support surface.

A combination support and irrigator for a planting having an upwardly extending trunk comprising:
- a housing having an upper end, a lower end and defining an interior chamber, said lower end of said housing adapted to be positioned on a ground support surface,
- said housing having an opening at said upper end dimensioned to circumscribe the trunk of the planting and limit deflection of the trunk,
- a plurality of stakes extending outwardly from said lower end of said housing and adapted for insertion into the ground support surface, at least one of said stakes including a fluid passage extending between a distal end of said at least one stake and said interior chamber of said housing,
- a resilient toroidal bumper positioned at said upper end of said housing, said bumper having an inside diameter dimensioned to minimize deflection of the trunk of the planting,
- wherein a liquid contained within said housing chamber flows from said housing chamber, through said at least one stake and into the ground support surface.
