Spring Watering Guide: New Trees Need Deep Watering

Post Copy

Spring means planting season in Bakersfield. Newly planted trees face a critical challenge: establishing deep roots before summer heat. The key is deep watering 2-3 times weekly, not daily light sprinkling.

Deep watering encourages roots to grow downward and establish strength for summer. A 3-4 inch mulch layer (kept away from the trunk) helps retain soil moisture and regulate temperature. Proper care now sets the foundation for healthy, drought-resilient trees.
