Dependable watering of your newly installed plants, for the first few
years, is essential to their health and survival. Shallow roots can't tolerate
dry soil conditions. The soil within the root zone, 6”– 12“deep, should be kept
moist at all times. Watering slowly and deeply, around the drip line, is better
than fast and frequently. Deep soaking
throughout the season and through the next growing seasons are recommended by
using a Soaker hose. This will allow the water to reach beneath the root-zone
area. Sprinklers cause too much moisture on the leaves, which makes the foliage
susceptible to moisture-related diseases such as anthracnose, powdery mildew
and gray mold. Watering before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m. can reduce the amount
of water lost to evaporation.
IMPORTANT WATERING INSTRUCTIONS:
The First 2 weeks; Water
DAILY
Week 3 thru week 10; Water
Every Other Day

twice weekly, between Early Spring & Late Fall
