Characteristics:
You'll need to give your newly-planted trees a deep watering once or twice a week during its first three summers in the ground. If you aren't sure you'll remember to keep up with that schedule, you should use a watering bag to extend the time needed between waterings.

An empty watering bag can serve as a helpful visual reminder that it's time to water again. Your watering bag(s) will be delivered on planting day, along with your tree(s).

1. Set up your bag in early May, after mulching your tree and before the ground has dried out.
2. Fill your watering bag and it will slowly dispense water over seveeral days.
3. Repeat this process each week throughout the first and second summer. (In your tree's third summer, taper off to every other week).
4. Remove your bag at the end of the summer, and save for next year.

NOTE FOR CONIFERS: The "tall" style of watering bag does not work well on conifers due to their low-branching structure, but works well with all broadleaf tree species on our tree lists.
