| With the night temperatures heading into the high 30s and daytime in the 60s I am wondering how much and how often to water pear, apple, nectarine and apricot trees? They are all 3 years old. Oh, also how about grape plants that are just 1 year old, but that grew extensively this past season. Thanks for any help. |

| I water young trees and grapes about once a week during winter, because I live in a windy area. I was told once a month would be sufficient, but I've learned (over the years) that younger ones need more frequent watering. My well-established evergreens start to brown, if they don't receive a deep monthly watering during winter. The wind seriously robs the needles of needed moisture. I usually don't water the older deciduous trees during winter, unless it has been a particularly dry winter. |
