The most common question asked regarding tree
care is: "How do I water it?"
Here are some guidelines for watering.
This depends mainly on the size and age of
the tree. Regardlesss of how often a tree
is watered, each water application should
be enough to saturate an area as wide as the
drip line of the tree to a soil depth of 2-3
feet minimum. As a tree matures, it needs
a wider water area. Especially palm trees.
This depends on a few variables:
Age of tree, type of tree, soil conditions
and current weather conditions. Loose sandy
soil dries out faster so more frequent watering
is required where as tight soils may require
less frequent applications. Newer trees don't
have established root structures and require
more frequent watering than when mature. Long
periods of extreme heat dry out the soil faster
dictating an increase in water frequency.
