But most homeowners want to enjoy the shade of a tree while sitting on the grass. To ensure the health and vigor of a tree in the landscape, gardeners should occasionally soak the plant during the heat Landscape plants suffer more from water-relateproblems than from anything else, according to Loralie Cox, Utah State University Extension horticulturist.

Photos at Monticello planted in our high mountain desert and would be unable to survive if not for irrigation. More often than not, trees are planted in the landscape and are assumed adequately watered when sprinkler systems turn on, she said. This may be enough to provide for the trees minimal needs some years, but it is important to remember that water applied to the lawn only infiltrates into the soil about 6 inches. The root ball of a newly planted tree is usually more than 18 inches deep, and the roots from the plant are growing at least at that depth. Because of this, 6 inches of sprinkler irrigation just isnt enough. As the tree branches above ground, roots below ground are also branching and growing through the soil, said Cox. Most grow laterally in the top 2 feet of soil, while a smaller percentage grows deeper. To adequately water the tree, the water needs to soak into the soil at least 2 feet. The irrigation needs of trees are much different than those of turf, Cox said. While turf is watered about twice a week in the hot part of the summer, trees need to be soaked about once a month during that pe- - of the summer. In early spring, there is usually sufficient water for the tree. As temperatures increase, the plant needs additional irrigation. Then, as weather cools in the fall, intervals between watering can be increased. It is important to have water in the soil as the tree goes into winter. Because evergreen trees transpire throughout the winter, it is especially important that they have enough soil moisture, Cox concluded. to San Juan Foundation Come join us in decorating Pioneer Park in Monticello for Fall!
