How to Water Your New Tree - Tree Tips #2

Today Rhett will teach you how to properly assess your tree for watering and how to properly water it. Trees require a lot of care and it is important you know how to properly water your tree to make sure it thrives! The key takeaway is this:
If your observe standing water - don't water!
If your test stick is damp but you see no standing water - it's time to water!
Be sure to repeat this test every 2-3 days to make sure your tree is well taken care of.
Times to water (with hose running between halfway and a trickle):
3-10 Gallon Tree: 8-12 minutes every 2 days (unless root ball is saturated)
15-30 Gallon Tree: 20-30 minutes 2-3 times a week (unless root ball is saturated)
45+ Gallon Tree: 60-90 minutes 2-3 times a week (unless root ball is saturated)
Be sure to continue watering during winter, but not right before a freeze!

    depending on the tree, some can withstand being waterlogged, but most trees will suffer, that at the end looks waterlogged and will develop root rot. I wouldn’t saturate my trees like that.

    Not associated with the creators of the video but here are a few things I would do: 1. Wait it out and let it dry, then water less frequently. 2. Make sure the water seeps into the earth and not have a [concrete/plastic] basin underneath that can hold water 3. Amend the soil/clay so it isn’t too compact. You can use sand 4. If nothing helps, maybe move the tree elsewhere and plant some perennials in that area

    Thanks for the video 👍 Also another idea is water according to sunlight levels. Adapt the watering eg If it’s summertime obviously trees might require more frequent watering.

    And my opinion I'm no expert like you but if you leave the tree saturated with water like that want it cause root rot I can understand it being moist but not saturated
