I got my 8 ft red maple transplanted and am hauling water to it. So far
it's gotten 5 gallons of water but I really don't know how much water
and how often. Any advice?


Hi Kate,

The best is to water it heavily, but less often. How much
will depend on the earth and exposition, but assuming good
deep soil I'd go for 100 litres every 8 days or so.

Assuming you mean A. rubrum they're fond of a drink.
