WINTER TREE WATERING

1/9/2023

Drought Conditions Call for Winter Watering

We don’t tend to think about trees too often in the dead of winter, but we should! We have had three consecutive years of drought-like conditions and this takes its toll on trees, especially evergreens which lose moisture to the air even in winter, and shallow rooted ornamentals. Between fall of 2021 and spring of 2022 we saw an unprecedented number of trees and shrubs die due to a lack of water.

DIY WATERING INSTRUCTIONS

When temperatures rise above 40 degrees, turn your hose on at a half-trickle and place it at the trunk. Move the hose every 5-10 minutes, working your way around the trunk, then taking a few steps back moving farther from the trunk. Continue in this manner, making concentric circles moving from the trunk to the drip line. A good watering at least twice per season will go a long way toward combatting drought and winter burn.

DEEP ROOT WATERING SERVICES AVAILABLE

Alternatively, we are happy to do it for you! Instead of setting out a hose, we will “deep root water” throughout the entire root zone using a probe. We will have technicians out while temperatures allow and are pricing the work by the hour. We charge $250 per hour with a $125 minimum. A typical residential property can likely be done in about an hour.

When it is above 40 degrees Fahrenheit and there is no snow or ice on the ground close to your trees, water only. So that the plants have time to absorb the water before the temperature lowers at night, water early in the day. Slow, deep water is preferred by trees. Trees that have just been planted need to be watered more frequently. By placing a garden trowel into the ground to a depth of 2 inches and then moving the blade back and forth to create a short, narrow trench, you may measure the soil's moisture content. After then, press your finger into the ground. They don't need water if the surface feels damp to the touch.
