TREE & PLANT CARE GUIDE

Newly planted trees need consistent deep watering. 

• Water 2-3 times per week 
• Water slowly and deeply at the root zone 
• Keep soil moist, not dry or soggy 

Hot / windy weather = water more often 

Most plant failures are caused by improper watering (too little OR too much).

• Full sun plants: 6+ hours daily sunlight 
• Shade plants: protect from direct afternoon sun
• Wrong placement can cause stress or decline

○ Apply 2-3 inches of mulch around base 

○ Keep mulch away from trunk (no contact) 

○ Helps retain moisture and regulate temperature

○ Do not plant too deep (root flare must be visible) 

○ Avoid compacted or waterlogged soil 

○ Ensure water drains properly after watering 

○ Poor drainage can quickly kill plants

New plants may show: 

• leaf drop 
• wilting 
• slow growth 

This is normal and does not mean the plant is dead.

• Increase watering in heat 
• Continue watering into fall until ground freezes 
• Protect from salt and extreme winter wind exposure
