HOW MUCH WATER DOES MY NEW TREE NEED PER WEEK?

While there is no standard watering amount that is suitable for all new trees & shrubs, there are general watering guidelines that can be followed.

Refer to the charts below for a recommended watering schedule using a Treegator® Jr. Pro Slow Release Watering Bag, being sure to note the following qualification:

Recommendations are based on a commonly referenced guideline of 10 gallons of water applied per 1" of tree caliper*.

15 gallon capacity
(56.78 liters)

Trunk Caliper (diameter)	Recommended Fills per Week
1 to 2 inch (2.54 to 5.08 cm)	1 Fill per Week
2 to 3 inch (5.08 to 7.62 cm)	2 Fills per Week
4 to 5 inch (10.16 to 12.7 cm)	3 Fills per Week

Note that during especially dry and/or hot periods of weather, these watering schedules may need to be increased. Also, trees and shrubs planted in sandy or porous soil should be watered more frequently. Conversely, during periods of rainfall / high moisture, a Treegator® Bag should be filled less frequently*.

*NOTE: Proper watering frequency can vary depending on several factors (tree and soil type, weather, etc.) This recommendation will NOT guarantee that your tree is being watered properly - Use it only as a guide. Consult a local gardening or tree care professional for more information on proper watering practices for your particular tree type and region.
