How to Water Your New Tree - Tree Tips #2

Today Rhett will teach you how to properly assess your tree for watering and how to properly water it. Trees require a lot of care and it is important you know how to properly water your tree to make sure it thrives! The key takeaway is this:

If your observe standing water - don't water!
If your test stick is damp but you see no standing water - it's time to water!
Be sure to repeat this test every 2-3 days to make sure your tree is well taken care of.

Times to water (with hose running between halfway and a trickle):
3-10 Gallon Tree: 8-12 minutes every 2 days (unless root ball is saturated)
15-30 Gallon Tree: 20-30 minutes 2-3 times a week (unless root ball is saturated)
45+ Gallon Tree: 60-90 minutes 2-3 times a week (unless root ball is saturated)
Be sure to continue watering during winter, but not right before a freeze!
