April is critical for newly planted trees. Young saplings haven't yet established deep roots, and spring growth combined with warming temperatures creates water stress if they're not properly watered.
The best practice is deep watering 2-3 times per week rather than daily light sprinkling. Deep watering encourages roots to grow downward and establish strength. A 3-4 inch layer of mulch around the base (kept away from the trunk) helps retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
