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!

Great video! Well done..
Great video Dad!
Thank you! I love that stick test and will use it for newly planted perrenial heavy clay beds!
Super easy to understand. Thank you! -California
Great explanation and video! Thank you!
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.

Amen. goodnight!!!!!! isn't it bad to stick a hole in or around the runner roots constantly?
I learned something watching your video, Thank you!
Thanks. I just planted my first tree here in Northern Nevada. Sunburst honey locust.
well done and thank you!
Great stuff thanks guys
Amazing 🌱🍃🌿🌳👍

Interesting video, but what about the air cavity that the stick leaves? Is that not a problem if you keep doing? I don't know, just asking.
How long do I need to check and water every 3 days?
But wouldn't the you rotten the root and get termites with too much water?
how much is " between halfway and trickle" in gallons? I have bubblers installed and I can regulate from 1 to 3 gallons per minute. so 8-12 minutes at 1 gallon per minute? half gallon? thank you
How often should I water my spruce tree it is a 5 ft tree we just planted. The tree is wilting. Help please.
thank you
When I hook up my soaker hose, it seems my water hose busts a leak, regulator required. I have on lowest possible stream. Thanks
Do you just keep using the same hole?
How often ? 2-3 days
that's way too much water?

Even for Texas?
What if too much water already applied? Do I just waited out while continue doing daily cake test? Or do I need to take any corrective actions at that time?

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
If I don’t have that stick could I just use the handle of my rake?

Use a spatula
*looks like pushing that stick will hurt the roots i don't know just guessing*
2:35 oh yeah
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.
Where can I buy the stick

@@JayBUDZ9333 Dude at the time i was serous until I got my wooded stick on one of my brooms I am new on the trees to take care of. Do you have a problem with it
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
Something just seems wrong with this advice. Poking the roots constantly and too much water.
Way way to much I’d like to see that tree now after two years
2-3 days and it hasn't drained? that would kill an avocado if done consistently. Trees are all different in terms of how they handle excess water.
Has anyone ever said you look like Zelensky?

Depends on where you live. Dry climates need even longer watering than that.
How the heck do you have dripping water like that 3 days later? This video is totally staged and FAKE.
