WATER TIPS

Apply 1-2 inches of organic mulch between flowers to retain mositure and control weeds; add organic matter.

If you do not have an automatic sprinkler system, water your trees witha bubbler at the end of a hose at a low rate, at several locations beyond the drip line.

Delay pruning at lest two weeks before the last spring frost.
