TREES AND SHRUBS

             TREES AND SHRUBS

Trees and shrubs should be watered every 10 to 14 days. Ideally  the soil should be moistened to a depth of 3 feet over the root area. Evaporation can be kept to a minimum by maintaining mulch around the base of the plant. Fruit trees will require a consistent watering schedule to avoid drought stress.  Drought stress will keep fruit from growing to it’s full size and can reduce the fruit’s flavor. Don’t forget to thin fruit when necessary to keep branches from breaking. Do not fertilize your trees and shrubs during the hot summer season.
