Planting & establishment
Water deeply every 7–10 days through the first 2 summers (less for xeric pines in heavy clay — they're prone to root rot). Winter water 1–2×/month October–March when soil is dry and unfrozen — evergreens transpire year-round. Year 3: taper to twice per month in summer; only during extreme drought thereafter.
