Planting a tree is just the start of the story, newly planted trees need to be
watered regularly over the summer months if they are going to become
established and thrive.
If you have a tree outside your house, or one that you pass on your daily walk, then you can help.
Established mature trees are able to find their own water. However, it is
recommended that newly planted trees are given 50 litres of water per
week during the summer months, for the first three years after planting.
The Arboricultural Association is joining forces with the and local authority tree officer associations to urge the public to
water their new street trees using recycled rainwater or grey water,
such as washing up water.
