Water Smart in Spring: New Trees Need Deep Watering

Post Copy

Spring in Bakersfield means warm days and low humidity. Newly planted trees need consistent deep watering to establish roots before the summer heat hits. Light, frequent watering creates shallow roots and stressed trees.

The right approach: water deeply 2-3 times per week rather than daily light sprinkling. Deep watering encourages roots to grow downward and establish strength. A 3-4 inch mulch layer (kept away from the trunk) helps retain soil moisture and keeps temperature stable.
