How Much To Water An Ornamental Elm

Question From: WASHINGTON
Q: just bought an elemental elm, husband is planting now. just need to know how much to water initially and there after

A: Water it enough to keep the soil in the root ball moist at all times, but not soggy. It needs 5 to 10 gallons a week depending on the type of soil you have. You can divide it up into more then a single watering. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
