Tree Care Tip of the Month: How to Water Your Tree
Step 1: Check the soil to determine if your tree needs to be watered. You should be able to press the soil into a ball without it falling apart. If it falls apart, then it lacks moisture and needs to be watered.
Step 2: Water near the trunk.
Step 3: Water slowly with a small amount of water trickling over a longer period. This will avoid overwatering. If you create a ball with the soil and it doesn't crumble when rubbed, then you may have over watered.
