Time Olive Trees saved their newly potted trees from freezing due to a sudden cold snap thanks to BioTherm’s MegaTube hydronic heating system.
“Time Olive Trees owned by Village of Time in the Texas Hill Country is famous for growing 6,000-year old olive tree varieties from the Mediterranean region. With a cold snap in the weather forecast, we needed a solution to keep hundreds of new potted trees from freezing. After local heating companies failed to perform, we were lucky to find BioTherm in California.”
“BioTherm proposed a hydronic heating system using MegaTube™ around the pots. We installed the system just in time to save the young trees from a freezing night that they might not have survived without BioTherm heat.”
“The MegaTube™ is in direct contact with the trees’ pots, so the hydronic heat conducts into the soil and roots inside the pot. Whenever the soil temperature drops below our set point, a sensor signals for heat from the boiler, which sends warm water circulating through the MegaTube™.”
