The first watering should be done immediately after plant ing the tree, using at least 40–50 litres of water. This helps the seedling settle into its new environment. After that, water at least twice a week with 20–40 litres each time. Spring watering should begin as early as April. From July and August onward, gradually reduce the watering amount. We must remember that tree care follows natural patterns. In nature, snow melts in April and May, provid ing moisture, and early summer rains continue to hydrate the soil. From August, rainfall decreases, and by October, as temperatures drop, trees naturally begin preparing for winter by closing their buds. Once a tree starts closing its buds, reduce watering to once a week, then once every two weeks, gradually de creasing until the tree naturally closes its buds. In Octo ber, when temperatures fall below freezing, give the tree a deep “charging” watering. This should be done when nighttime temperatures reach about –5°C. Provide each tree with at least 40–50 litres of water; if the soil absorbs it well, add another round two or three days later and al low it to freeze. This method ensures that water penetrates deeply and freezes during cold nights, remaining frozen throughout the winter. When the soil thaws in spring and the tree resumes growth, this stored frozen water melts and pro vides excellent early-season moisture, greatly supporting the tree’s recovery and growth.
