The success of your plant(s) during this period of adjustment is due to proper observation and watering. For the first 3 weeks after installation, watering is necessary. Water must be allowed to soak into the surrounding soil and the plant's root ball, until both are thoroughly soaked. A tree or shrub derives little or no benefit from frequent light rains or watering. The use of root feeder attachments is highly recommended to facilitate root irrigation. When using just a hose, turn hose on to LOW pressure to create a slow trickle to soak root ball (A trickle looks like there is barely any water coming out, yet the spigot is making some noise).
