Each of the trees came with its roots encased in burlap. So....I have a pile of burlap pieces that are about 2.5' squares.

I think I like the idea of two lines of tubing that drips every 6", in a figure 8 pattern, crossing between trees. This achieves what SM says is an important water 'range" under each tree to promote root expansion. I think the trees were harvested with a clamshell machine that cuts off all roots outside the immediate ball of around 16" diameter. These things need to rebuild those cut-off roots.
