how much do i need to water a recently transplanted tree?

Answer 1

alot. my mom was a freak with planting trees and as they would grow she would transplant them all over the yard. you need to keep it pretty soaked for a while so that the root base can start new growth it will probably start lookin a little sick for a while because most of its root system has been removed but it will soon grow a new healthy root system and start lookin better. just keep the ground wet if you notice the dirt crackin or dryin up throw the hose on it

Answer 2

Lots. I would water a bucketful, at least, everyday. It may depend on the size of your tree or what kind of day, dry or wet, but I would give that much or more for a while. You don't want the roots to dry out. Watering loosen the stress from the transplanting. You also don't want to just spray around the tree, since it won't do any good for the tree. If you water lightly, the roots try to grow toward the surface in order to get the moisture. Water deeply is the key.

Answer 3

There are a number of factors to consider when trying to determine how much water a tree needs. 1) Soil type - does the soil retain water readily or does it dry out quickly 2) Weather - hot and dry, cool and rainy.... 3) Size of tree, was it a container tree, if so how big or was it a B&B tree that was much larger.

Newly planted trees need approximately 1 gallon of water for every inch diameter of the trunk every 5 to 7 days if there has been less than 1/2 of rain during the week. But keep in mind as cooler weather approaches the amount of water loss from soil changes. Watering new trees daily can cause significant problems. When of the reasons you don't want to overwater is that the roots need soil and if they are just sitting in water - they can sufficate.

Depends on the time of year where you live, the type of ground and how big the tree is. Just remember you can kill it with not enough, but you can't kill it with too much (unless you live in the everglades...). I would give at least 2 gallons twice a week for a month or two for a smallish tree unless it's raining hard. For a big tree, you better hope it rains really hard...
