Colorado's dry fall and winter air keeps pulling moisture from trees long after the leaves drop, and the Front Range often goes weeks without meaningful rain or snow. Trees in Englewood, Denver, and Lakewood that head into winter dry are more prone to root damage and a slow start in spring.
A deep watering about once a month during dry stretches from fall into early spring helps. Choose a day when temperatures are above 40 degrees and the ground is not frozen, and water around midday so it soaks in before the evening freeze.
Newly planted trees, evergreens, and trees in narrow strips next to hot pavement need it most. A slow soak spread across the area under the canopy works far better than a quick spray at the trunk. Bear Creek's ISA Certified Arborists see the difference winter watering makes every spring. A layer of mulch over the root zone also helps hold that moisture in.
