How do I water large trees properly?
Watering large trees correctly is crucial to ensure healthy growth and stability. A watering rim or water bag can be a valuable aid in directing water to the root area and reducing evaporation losses. Here are some tips:
1. create a watering edge
- You can easily create a watering edge yourself by forming a mound of soil about 10-20 cm high around the trunk to keep the water in the area of the roots.
- The diameter of the watering edge should be at least as large as the tree crown, as the fine roots in this area are best able to absorb the water.
2. use water bags
- Attach the water bag around the trunk of the tree or place it directly next to it. It should be close to the root area.
- Some water bags can also be connected to each other, which is helpful if a tree needs a lot of water.
- Fill the bag with water. A typical water bag holds around 50 to 75 litres and the water is released slowly over several hours.
3. watering correctly
- Water slowly and thoroughly: Instead of frequently giving small amounts of water, it is better to water the tree less frequently but thoroughly.This ensures that the water reaches deep into the soil and the roots are optimally reached.
- Adjust the quantity: A large tree often requires several hundred litres of water per week, depending on the species, site conditions and weather.
- Water early in the morning or in the evening to minimise evaporation and ensure that the water really penetrates the soil.
4. observe regularity
- Regular watering is particularly important during dry periods or for newly planted trees.
- Check the moisture level of the soil regularly and adjust the watering if necessary.
