This watering guide gives a broad guideline for established plants - plants more than two years old. Be sure
to observe your plants to make sure they can adapt to this watering schedule. If your plants are used to another
watering schedule you cannot just change your watering habits immediately, to meet this new schedule. Your
plants may require a two or three year adjustment period to meet this recommended watering schedule. If you
see signs of stress, you should supplement this water schedule to meet your plant's needs. Water according to the plants
requirements, not according to your schedule. More 'old' plants die from too much water than die from the lack of water.
However, during periods of hot, dry, summer weather even 'old' plants may need a little extra water to keep them healthy.
You must realize that not all plants have the same growing conditions, even in the same yard. Plants can have different
soil types, drainage conditions, light and temperature variations, and even differing amounts of water and fertilizer - just
two or three feet apart. Water may drain away quickly from one plant but may puddle and stay wet around another plant in
the same row. One sprinkler may be closer to one plant than another, or, a sprinkler may not be emmitting the same amount
of water as the next one (the sprinkler may have dirt in the nozzle or the nozzle might be a different size and emmits a
different amount of water.) No matter what the reason, one plant may die from the lack of water while another
plant dies from over-water, even though they are all being watered on the same schedule. Be sure to observe
your plants on a regular schedule - every time you are out working in the yard!
Newly planted shrubs need to be observed more frequently and require a more frequent watering schedule
than older, more established plants. As a rule of thumb - Newly plants shrubs and trees should be watered once
a day for the first week or two. After the first week, water them once or twice a week with a hose - do not rely
on sprinklers to water newly planted shrubs. Water newly planted shrubs regularly for the first summer.
