We have found through experience the hard way that certain trees as listed below, 
definitely will not take too much water for the first year in getting them established. We 
believe that 90% of the losses sustained on the following trees is from over-watering on 
the transplanting year. This group of trees definitely will not take too frequent watering 
the first year, and care should be given to the following instructions on watering as noted 
at the end of this article. 
We have reference to Cherries, Cutleaf Weeping Birch, American Linden, Red Oak, 
Schwedler Maple and other hard Maples, and Mountain Ash. These trees should never be 
planted with a water basin or depression left around the base of the tree; nor should they 
be planted in any low position in the yard where the water would have a tendency to 
drain to or stand in that immediate area. They should be planted at ground level and 
soaked most thoroughly at that time, to eliminate air pockets; and instead of frequent 
sprinklings, should be given deep irrigation every ten days to two weeks thereafter accord- 
ing to weather conditions. By deep irrigation we mean: remove the nozzle from the hose, 
using the open end, allow a stream of water about pencil size to run at the base of the 
tree for an hour or more, depending on the size of the tree. It may be necessary to reset 
the hose at the opposite side of tree and repeat.
