| I recently planted a 4.5 foot Leyland Cypress Tree. How often should I water the tree? Whenever I water, how much water should I use? And, for what length of time should I continue this watering schedule? |
After about two or three weeks of this schedule, you can begin to water an area about 6 feet in diameter, giving it a good soaking once a week or so. By the end of the year you may be watering a 10 foot area every two weeks whenever it doesn't rain an inch. A good rule of thumb is to apply an inch or so whenever you water. A coffee can makes a good sprinkler gauge. Once the tree has had a year to establish and get growing, it can do with less pampering. |
