  • Today Rhett will teach you how to properly assess your tree for watering and how to properly water it. Trees require a lot of care and it is important you know how to properly water your tree to make sure it thrives! The key takeaway is this:
    If your observe standing water - don't water!
    If your test stick is damp but you see no standing water - it's time to water!
    Be sure to repeat this test every 2-3 days to make sure your tree is well taken care of.
    Times to water (with hose running between halfway and a trickle):
    3-10 Gallon Tree: 8-12 minutes every 2 days (unless root ball is saturated)
    15-30 Gallon Tree: 20-30 minutes 2-3 times a week (unless root ball is saturated)
    45+ Gallon Tree: 60-90 minutes 2-3 times a week (unless root ball is saturated)
    Be sure to continue watering during winter, but not right before a freeze!

    Maybe that would work on a cypress tree or a weeping willow but most trees I would expect root rot with that much moisture. I've found good success with letting the tree dry out for a day or two before a deep watering again.

    I love that stick test and will use it for newly planted perrenial heavy clay beds!

    depending on the tree, some can withstand being waterlogged, but most trees will suffer, that at the end looks waterlogged and will develop root rot. I wouldn’t saturate my trees like that.

    Interesting video, but what about the air cavity that the stick leaves? Is that not a problem if you keep doing? I don't know, just asking.

    Something just seems wrong with this advice. Poking the roots constantly and too much water.

    how much is " between halfway and trickle" in gallons? I have bubblers installed and I can regulate from 1 to 3 gallons per minute. so 8-12 minutes at 1 gallon per minute? half gallon?
    thank you

  • @jimjames771

  • @kylenguyen7891

    What if too much water already applied? Do I just waited out while continue doing daily cake test? Or do I need to take any corrective actions at that time?

      Not associated with the creators of the video but here are a few things I would do:
      1. Wait it out and let it dry, then water less frequently.
      2. Make sure the water seeps into the earth and not have a [concrete/plastic] basin underneath that can hold water
      3. Amend the soil/clay so it isn’t too compact. You can use sand
      4. If nothing helps, maybe move the tree elsewhere and plant some perennials in that area

    And my opinion I'm no expert like you but if you leave the tree saturated with water like that want it cause root rot I can understand it being moist but not saturated

    2-3 days and it hasn't drained? that would kill an avocado if done consistently. Trees are all different in terms of how they handle excess water.

      Depends on where you live. Dry climates need even longer watering than that.

  • @Fascistbeast
    @Fascistbeast 7 месяцев назад

    Thanks for the video 👍
    Also another idea is water according to sunlight levels.
    Adapt the watering eg
    If it’s summertime obviously trees might require more frequent watering.
