The rule of thumb for watering newly installed plants is one inch of water every week for the first six weeks. This includes evergreen and deciduous trees, shrubs, ground cover and lawns. A thorough watering once a week is usually sufficient.<\/p>\n
In late fall and winter, deciduous plants go dormant, reducing their water needs. Evergreens will still require supplemental watering during late fall and winter in order to prevent “winter burn” or drying-out of leaf surfaces. Do not rely on nature to provide water because if plants are in a protected area (sheltered under large trees or near overhangs of buildings), they may receive little or no water from rainfall. Plants in low areas may be getting plenty of water since excess water may collect there.<\/p>\n
