14" - 36" deep drip watering stakes surrounding your newly planted tree.

HOUSTON DROUGHT

 

Did you know that your larger existing trees could easily need - use up to 30 gallons of water a day?

 

Houston is no stranger to droughts. A good sign your tree lacks water is to visibly see smaller and larger dead branches at the very top of the tree.

 

This is a very good indication water is not reaching the top of your trees.

 

To encourage ideal root  growth, moisture - watering  levels should reach a depth of 12 to 18 inches below yours soil surface.

 

A good way to catch up your trees watering schedule is to water tree[s] with a slow trickle 2 hours - one time a week for the first month.

 

1 hour a week for the second month. And drop it down to 30 minuets - 1 time a week the third month.

 

Water apparatuses needed - A 5 gallon bucked with small pin holes in it. Fill it up as needed.

 

You can also use a drip line or soaker hose. Rap about a 50 foot water hose around tree spacing them apart every 2-3 feet.

 

Turn on your water to a slow trickle. If you don't have the time to monitor watering times.
