I empty mine manually every day to water the row of Arborvitae’s but it’s a PITA. Expand Luke, How old are the arbors? I watered them in the first year, After that, I let mother nature take care of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I've seen plenty that look like crap after the deer get to them, With arbors, Once you lose branches or sections, They don't grow back, That's one of there favorite foods, Thankfully i don't have a deer problem, Or i would take care of it if i did ha ha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I had spaced them 39" apart Luke, I wanted them to mesh as a privacy screen, Planting them that close only allows them to get to 18-24' tall, I say only, But i have the (Emerald Green variety) It allowed me to block the view on the other side sooner, I have seen some that were spaced 4-6' apart (Thuja Green Giants) that would grow to 40' but that would take longer to fill in obviously.

But you’re right, after a year I shouldn’t need to water them as much as I do now. Expand I've read, from experienced landscapers, that transplanting usually leaves about 90% of a tree's roots behind, hence the importance of daily watering in T-plus a year. One nursery owner would give purchasers of trees two small bottles, one of green liquid and one of red. He guaranteed all trees, replacement or money back, if the buyer would put 3 drops of green and 3 of red daily, as watering was done. Water plus food coloring - it was just a reminder to water.

Typhoon Tip Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 There could be daily crispies for cloud enthusiasts ... late Sunday through late Tuesday. Three days of cyclic convection. Not bad for mid September. Also, week 2 seems slated for some warm anomalies. Tough to hang one's hat on an outlook for warm temperatures after the 15th of the month.. but, the signals been fairly persistent in the ens means. Oper. Euro extrapolates, as does the GFS - no comment on exact magnitude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
