Watering & Mulching Guide



Watering:



Water thoroughly and regularly the first season until the plant's root system is established. Do not rely on rainfall or a sprinkler system alone, as they do not supply an adequate amount of water for a new plant.

Watering by hand three or four times a week is usually enough. In hot weather it is important to water more often. Be careful not to over water as this can be harmful to the plant’s root system. It can be helpful to contain water by creating a small “well” around the plant to prevent water run-off. Once the plant is established, return soil around the plant to natural grade.



Mulching:



Adding a two to three- inch layer of mulch under any new planting will help it become established. The mulch should be placed under the tree and extend to the dripline (the area under the outermost branches). Make sure to stay two to three inches away from the trunk of the plant to avoid rotting the trunk.
