Watering emergency! What you can do

WATERING EMERGENCY! WHAT YOU CAN DO



Some of our street trees are in danger. If you notice any that you think need watering, please let us know straight away at info@streettreesforliving.com.

 
We sent a reminder last week to our guardians and supporters, but it may be useful to anyone responsible for the life of trees below five years old (we have actually lost some of our older trees as their root systems are still immature). 

Young trees need water TWO OR THREE times a week in the current hot weather. 
20 MEASURED LITRES in one hit is ideal. 

Calendars and phone reminders might help to create a routine. Please note in particular that watering is necessary whatever the weather – rain runs straight off the pavement. 

More about watering is on our website here

Thank you for your time and attention.
