The exact amount depends on the tree\u2019s age, species, soil composition and weather conditions. As a guideline for young trees: up to 200 cm in height about 3\u20135 litres per day, at 200\u2013400 cm about 15\u201320 litres per day, and at 400\u2013600 cm about 25\u201360 litres per day. Especially during dry periods, additional watering is necessary because rainfall does not always reach the roots.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 120%;\"><strong>What determines how much water a tree needs?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"559\" data-end=\"849\">The amount of water a tree requires is mainly determined by the tree\u2019s age, soil type, weather conditions and species. Newly planted trees need more water than established trees, sandy soil dries out faster than clay soil, and during warm weather or strong winds the water demand increases.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 120%;\"><strong>How does the age of a tree affect its water requirement?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Has the tree just been planted? In that case it needs extra support and it is important that enough water is available. The water should not run off but should reach the root ball and the roots. For this reason, it is advisable to install a <a href=\"https:\/\/greenmax.eu\/en\/solutions\/aeration-and-irrigation\/water-reservoir\/\">water reservoir<\/a> around young trees.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What is the function of a water reservoir?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A water reservoir ensures that water sinks into the soil in the right place so the roots can absorb it properly. For newly planted root-ball trees, the water should reach the nursery root ball. The size of the water reservoir should be at least the diameter of the root ball. Leave the water reservoir in place for at least two full growing seasons. During this period new fine roots develop that eventually grow beyond the crown projection.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How do you recognise drought stress in established trees? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If the tree has been growing in the same place for some time, it is important that the root ball does not dry out. Drought stress can be recognised by drooping leaves, curling leaves, discolouration, leaves turning away from the sun or even leaf drop. At that point watering is actually already too late. It is therefore important to prevent these symptoms from appearing. Regularly check the soil directly next to the root ball. It should feel slightly moist.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1089364611\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/greenmax.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Droogtestress-bij-bomen.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Droogtestress bij bomen\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenmax.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Droogtestress-bij-bomen.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/greenmax.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Droogtestress-bij-bomen-571x400.jpg 571w, https:\/\/greenmax.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Droogtestress-bij-bomen-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenmax.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Droogtestress-bij-bomen-768x538.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1089364611 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-1484314695\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1484314695 {\n  padding-top: 20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 120%;\"><strong>What influence does soil type have on a tree\u2019s water requirement?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Soil type largely determines how much water a tree needs and how often you should water it. Always check the soil moisture at around 10 cm depth in the root ball and the surrounding soil. This helps you decide whether additional watering is necessary.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sandy soil or clay soil: what does this mean for water requirements?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In sandy soil water drains away more quickly and flows off more easily than in clay soil. As a result, a tree in sandy soil usually needs water more often or in larger amounts than a tree growing in clay soil. Clay soil retains water longer but may allow less oxygen to reach the roots during prolonged wet conditions.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 120%;\"><strong>How do weather conditions affect a tree\u2019s water requirement?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether there is a lot or little rainfall, the most important factor is that the water actually reaches the root ball and the roots. Rainwater often falls outside the crown projection of the tree and therefore does not always penetrate the root zone. This means that even when it rains, a tree may still require additional watering to prevent the root ball from drying out.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Giving less water during prolonged rainfall: when is extra watering unnecessary?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>During prolonged and heavy rainfall a tree needs less additional watering. From May to August, however, during dry weather with temperatures above 20 \u00b0C and low humidity, it is important to water more frequently or in larger quantities. This helps prevent the root ball from drying out.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Extra watering during hot and dry weather: increased water demand in summer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>From May to August, particularly during dry weather with temperatures above 20 \u00b0C and low humidity, the water requirement increases significantly. Higher evaporation through the leaves and faster soil drying make it important to water more frequently or provide larger amounts of water. Regularly checking the soil moisture helps determine the correct amount of water for each tree and prevents both drought stress and overwatering.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 120%;\"><strong>Does the water requirement vary by tree species?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"4605\" data-end=\"4919\">Water requirements vary by tree type and depend on characteristics such as leaf structure, growth rate and transpiration. By distinguishing between evergreen and deciduous trees in your watering schedule, you can better match the water supply to the growing season and prevent both drought stress and overwatering.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>When do evergreen trees need water? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Evergreen trees that keep their leaves or needles throughout the year require water all year round. They continue to evaporate moisture even in winter. During dry winter periods, additional watering may therefore be necessary to prevent the root ball from drying out.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>When do deciduous trees need water? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Deciduous trees lose their leaves in autumn. From that moment additional watering is usually no longer necessary because evaporation decreases significantly and the tree enters a dormant phase. Once the first leaves appear again in spring and the sap flow starts, the water requirement increases again. In practice, additional watering is usually needed from March until October or November, depending on temperature, rainfall and soil type.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Guidelines: how many litres of water does a young tree need per day?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For trees that have been planted in open ground for less than one year and have not yet completed a full growing season, we recommend the guideline below for daily watering.

The following steps help you water a tree effectively.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1: Check whether watering is necessary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Feel or measure the soil at around 10 cm depth near the root ball.
