Tip to keep your trees alive!!!!!

Trees need to be watered once a week if we don't get significant rain.  Your lawn sprinkler will not provide enough water for your trees.  Use a hose placed inside the tree's drip line.  An easy formula to use:  apply 10 gallons per inch of trunk diameter.  At normal water pressure, your hose turned down to a medium flow should produce roughly 2 gallons of water a minute.  So, a tree with a 5-inch trunk needs 50 gallons of water, so placing the hose under the tree for 25 minutes on medium should do the trick.  Moving it around the tree a couple times is even better.
