Arborist Study Guide Chapter 4 - Water Management

Water management is essential for the health and survival of trees. Specific water needs of a tree can vary depending on the species, location, and weather conditions. Signs of underwatering include wilting leaves, browning leaf margins, and a lack of new growth. To water a tree, it is best to use a slow, deep watering method rather than a quick sprinkle. This allows the water to penetrate deep into the soil, reaching the tree's roots. proper water management is crucial for the health of a tree. Watering should be done in a way that provides adequate hydration to the tree's roots, avoiding both under and overwatering.

one thing to be careful of is that if a sprinkler system sprays the bark over and over again it can lead to bark disease

[@In-The-Trees]

That's really good insight! Something I didn't even consider!

5 years ago we dug a 8 foot French drain for a 42 inch black oak, couldn't let it drown.
