Important info from our friends at Trees Winnipeg:

"An urgent appeal to water your trees!

Winnipeg has received about one-third of the precipitation that it normally does at this point in the year, and there is no significant rainfall in the forecast as we head into the hottest weeks. ..."
A graphic showing "How to Water a Tree" Young Trees: water at least twice every week (about 5 gallons of water) Mature Trees: Water within the drop line at least once every week Exposed trees: Water either in the early morning of after the sun has set Apply mulch to decrease soil temperature and minimize water evaporation In times of drought, provide water directly using a hose or a 5-gallon bucket. Water slowly to enable soil absorption and prevent run-off Conserve and recycle water
