TREE FAQs
How to Water.
Supplying enough water to saturate the top 18 inches of soil can take a long time; in soils where water sinks in slowly this may require repeated applications over a day or two. Devices that apply water slowly to lessen run-off include drip emitters, soaker hoses, and bubblers (on level ground). Sprinklers are less efficient but can supply water over a large area; those that spray in a low wide pattern are best and should be used in early morning or late afternoon (before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m.) to minimize evaporation.
The Importance of Consistent Tree Care in the Face of Ongoing Drought Conditions
As residents of Northern New Mexico know all too well, our region has been experiencing prolonged drought conditions for many years. While the recent winter season brought some much-needed precipitation, the reality is that we still face significant challenges when it comes to water resources. According to the New Mexico State University Extension, trees should receive one inch of water per week during the growing season, which typically runs from April through October in our region. This can be achieved through a combination of rainwater and supplemental watering, such as with a drip irrigation system or a soaker hose.
Despite the recent rainfall, it’s important to remember that trees still require consistent and adequate watering in order to thrive. While it may be tempting to assume that the wet winter took care of all your trees’ watering needs, the reality is that trees require more than just a single season of rainfall to establish deep, healthy root systems.
