A Watering Guide for Your Success
Wind, rain fall, and heat will stress newly planted trees and shrubs. They are living organisms that require care and attention. The care and attention you give will be the difference between the success and failure of your plants.
Getting your plants properly established after being planted is a balancing act. It is necessary to water enough to keep things alive, while also giving time between watering for things to dry out. Allowing things to dry out between watering helps to promote the deep root growth plants need to become properly established. Once plants are properly established, a more moderate watering schedule can be followed. Perhaps only supplemental watering will be required in a dry summer to keep your plants alive.
To determine whether or not your plant needs water, push your fingers several inches into the area around the root ball. If the soil feels muddy, do not water. If the soil is still moist but crumbles, then plan to water in the next day or two. If the soil feels completely dry, then you need to water immediately. To properly water newly established plants they need to get deep penetrating water. In other words it's better to water for longer periods of time less frequently, than to water for a short period of time every day.
For trees and shrubs with large root balls, check the soil every week to ten days. Check smaller plants for moisture every two to six days. Depending on weather conditions smaller plants will dry out more quickly than larger ones. Continue a regular watering schedule Your newly planted landscape needs your care and attention. Proper watering throughout the first year is needed until the soil freezes. You may need to water during January and February if the ground is not frozen, especially if the winter is dry. Many fall-planted trees and shrubs are lost because of inadequate moisture in the winter, especially evergreens that are exposed to drying winds. Watering during the second year can still be critical, so maintain a regular schedule during this time.
