Have you ever wondered how much water you need for your new trees?
Follow this simple guideline for the first two or three seasons after you plant a tree. (This guide line is good for trees planted in Colorado or other area with similar climates)

Spring: (Mar/May) one watering session every other week
Summer: (Jun/Aug) one watering session every other day
Fall: (Sep/Nov) one watering session every other week
Winter: (Dec/Feb) one watering session every month (if no measurable snow)
