QuestionI like to think that the extreme heat and lack of rain is causing the leafs on my maple trees to fall. I planted them in early spring and had been doing well until recently. Started watering will they survive??
Thank you
Answerwater with 1 inch of water--place a pan under the tree and turn the sprinkler on when the pan has 1 inch of water in it stop. Do this every third day for a couple of weeks and then once a week . Water unless it rains good. Also if you have not done so mulch around the tree with not more than 3 inches deep of organic mulch (pine straw is good) not piled up on the trunk. This will help hold moisture around the tree roots.
