Day-to-day care for trees and shrubs
To make sure that your plant is happy and flourishes in its new site, it is important to give it the right care, especially for
the first three years.
Watering
- Adjust the frequency of watering to take account of the plant’s needs and other conditions, including
the type of soil, drainage, temperature, moisture, wind, rain and season.
- During the first week, water it daily. Water thoroughly and deeply, but be careful not to overwater it.
If necessary, use trickle irrigation to avoid run-off.
- During dry periods, water the soil thoroughly, at least once a week. Spray the foliage as
well from time to time.
- In fall, water thoroughly. Pay special attention to evergreens and plants that retain
their leaves, which need to store up water for the winter.
Inspecting
- Inspect your plant regularly for injuries, insect pests or diseases. Use biological control
methods to address any problems.
