Maybe that would work on a cypress tree or a weeping willow but most trees I would expect root rot with that much moisture. I've found good success with letting the tree dry out for a day or two before a deep watering again.
Thanks for the video 👍 Also another idea is water according to sunlight levels. Adapt the watering eg If it’s summertime obviously trees might require more frequent watering.
depending on the tree, some can withstand being waterlogged, but most trees will suffer, that at the end looks waterlogged and will develop root rot. I wouldn’t saturate my trees like that.
@@JayBUDZ9333 Dude at the time i was serous until I got my wooded stick on one of my brooms I am new on the trees to take care of. Do you have a problem with it
how much is " between halfway and trickle" in gallons? I have bubblers installed and I can regulate from 1 to 3 gallons per minute. so 8-12 minutes at 1 gallon per minute? half gallon? thank you
And my opinion I'm no expert like you but if you leave the tree saturated with water like that want it cause root rot I can understand it being moist but not saturated
My question is why wouldn't you fill the hole first with water to check for drainage, you know to see how fast or slow the water drains. Because if it drains slow you'll need to dig a smaller hole passed the clay for good drainage. Why didn't you use better soil instead you put the original clay soil back into the hole and on top of the tree. Do you always have success your way?
Standard practice says use native soil, so that the roots become acclimated to the soil they'll be growing in. At least in Texas, it is not advised to use improved soil to fill the hole. 👍
What if too much water already applied? Do I just waited out while continue doing daily cake test? Or do I need to take any corrective actions at that time?
Not associated with the creators of the video but here are a few things I would do: 1. Wait it out and let it dry, then water less frequently. 2. Make sure the water seeps into the earth and not have a [concrete/plastic] basin underneath that can hold water 3. Amend the soil/clay so it isn’t too compact. You can use sand 4. If nothing helps, maybe move the tree elsewhere and plant some perennials in that area
