Show Irrigation In Hot Weather. The very hot days cause great evaporation evap-oration from the leaves on the trees. Apple trees of bearing age often give off more than 100 gallons of water a day during the hot weather. A large old apple tree will sometimes give off 500 gallons of water per day. The winds dry the moisture of the soil and, taking all these things Into consideration, considera-tion, there is more danger of under Irrigation than over irrigation at this time of the season. It can be readily seen that with so much water being used by the trees at this, time heavy Irrigation is necessary. |
