Proper Watering Is Critical to Plant Survival Watering trees, shrubs, evergreens and other plants is simple: Apply sufficient water so that the soil around the roots is thoroughly moist and then allow to dry enough so that some air can penetrate the root ball area. Roots, like leaves, need oxygen and too much continuous water prevents the soil from "breathing". The larger the plant (more roots) the more water it requires and the longer it takes for the soil to dry sufficiently. Moisture also depends upon the rainfall, temperatures, and soil conditions.
TREES/EVERGREENS Three days after planting, the tree should be soaked again. During the first year, large trees should be soaked every week, unless there has been a heavy rainfall of 1" or more during the week. The second year, maintain watering at once per two weeks, unless there is 1" of rain. During periods of extended drought, water once a week. Continue watering through the middle of November.
The best method for watering trees is to place a hose at the perimeter of the hole and let the water soak slowly into the soil. Move the hose to ensure watering on all sides of the root ball. Approximately one hour of water should be sufficient, but you may need more or less depending on tree size. Do not spray the foliage.
SHRUBS Shrubs may be watered individually by soaking the soil around each plant. For large plantings of shrubs, a soaker hose may make this task easier. Shrubs should be watered three times a week for the first 6 weeks, and twice a week for the rest of the season. During periods of extreme heat and or drought, you may need to water daily, especially on smaller material (1-2 Gallon). As with trees, you can skip watering when there has been 1" of rainfall.

CULTURAL PRACTICES OF FRUIT TREES Fruit trees need full sunlight. Inadequate sunlight delays the beginning of fruit production and will reduce the amount of fruit. Do not plant fruit trees near other trees where they will have to compete for soil space and nutrients. Prune young trees to develop a strong framework with a central leader and horizontal branches. Excessive upright growth will delay fruit bearing and reduce the quantity of fruit.

Clematis likes to be planted in full sun but its roots shaded. Clematis is susceptible to "Clematis Wilt" when over watered. Keep soil on the dry side and plant some of the stem below soil line. There are three pruning groups for best flowering and should be pruned in early spring.
Group #1: Flowers only on old growth. Prune only weak or dead stems after flowering. Severe pruning or late pruning will result in fewer flowers the following spring but can rejuvenate a neglected plant.
Group #2: In this group all first flowering is from last year's stems. In early spring watch for swelling buds all along the existing stems & cut off dead material off above these swelling buds.
Group #3: Blooms only from new. This group should be pruned in February or March as new leaf buds begin to show low (8-12") on plant. All dead material above these buds should be removed.
