Terry's Gardening Tips
Fall is not time to stop watering
With the severe drought we are experiencing, do not stop watering your trees just because fall is upon us. As long as the soil temperature is 55 degrees or above, tree roots continue to grow, so it is important for trees to keep receiving water in preparation for winter.
The prolonged drought makes it even more important to offer supplemental watering to provide your tree’s root zone with at least the equivalent of one inch of rainfall per week.
