New Tree Maintenance Instructions
At the time your trees are installed, the planting crew will water in the tree
as required to last for 5 to 7 days. The soil well built around the tree is for
watering purposes and should remain intact for the first year. When watering your
tree fill soil well with a water hose and allow water to soak in. Repeat this
process 3 or 4 times for deep watering. Normal hand watering for the first year
is every 5 to 7 days as needed during hot summer, in cooler months water at 2
to 4 week intervals. Check moisture level with moisture meter before watering
especially after rain shower.
Caution- There is no set watering schedule. Only water as needed. Check the moisture
level first. Sprinklers will not work in watering your trees. Trees require deep
watering.
Fertilization
Newly planted trees can be fertilized during the first year. We recommend using
Osmocote twice a year (April and August). Use Superthrive monthly
for one year (1/2 once per 5-gallons H/2O). Pour at base of soil well and water
in thoroughly.
