Best Holiday Tree Care Watering Buying Guide
Before choosing the best holiday tree care watering you should consider following options:
1. Fertilizing: Applying a slow-release bimonthly (in November and February) is recommended unless your soil is highly acidic (pH is less than 5.8) or alkali (pH is greater than 7.8). If that’s the case, apply a granular slow-release fertilizer in the fall.
2. Watering: Water your tree deeply and thoroughly, so that the water soaks through the trunk, roots and soil to a depth of at least 10 inches. If you’re watering with a hose, water early in the day so the tree dries out by nightfall. This will prevent the growth of damaging root rot.
3. Staking: Easter lilies, daffodils and other long-stemmed bulbs can be staked to keep their blossoms upright.
4. Mulching: In addition to helping keep the soil moist, organic mulch also helps control weeds and holds in the soil’s nutrients.
5. Cleaning up: After the holidays are over, remove any decorations and cut down the tree, unless you’re planning on planting it.
6. Planting: Plant new trees from seed in early spring or late fall.
7. Winter protection: If you live in an area where temperatures are expected to dip below 20 degrees for a sustained period, you’ll need to protect your tree with a sturdy wrap or a blanket of snow.
