| I have just planted a number of silver birch trees "girth of 20" and 20 foot tall. I would like to hear some views on the amount and frequency of watering that they require. |

Thats a tough one. Never had to water such sized fresh planted trees. I guess it depends on soil type and current state of your soil from a moisture point of view. Oh and if the plants were containerised or rootballed from a field.
I would water a good large amount at reasonable intervals without over watering more than little but often like some people do which often leads to dry areas due to poor water penetration.
Then ofcourse you will have to judge on how the spring and summer goes- good luck- I am sure the trees will give you some indications as to if they are happy or not. |
