Fall Trees and Shrubs

September through October in the Fall season. We recommend using Calloway’s Natural Lawn & Garden Food as directed on the label.

Watering newly planted trees and shrubs depends on various factors such as plant type, soil, and weather. Here’s a concise guide:

• Immediately after planting, give a thorough soak to settle the soil. Ensure water pools around the base.
• In the first few weeks, water consistently to help roots establish. Water once a week or more in hot, dry weather, aiming for 1-2 inches.
• Regularly check soil moisture by sticking your finger down about 1-2 inches deep. If it’s dry, water.
• Adapt your watering based on weather conditions. Water less during rainy periods and more during droughts.
• Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. This reduces the need for frequent watering.
• Maintain this routine for a year or two until you see signs of strong root growth and increased drought tolerance.
• Remember, striking a balance is crucial. Avoid overwatering. Tailor your watering to the specific needs of the plant species.
• For expert advice, consult your nearest Texas Certified Nursery Professional!
