Water in well
Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, you won't need to water regularly, only in dry spells when needed. You should be able to tell because the leaves will start to wilt and droop. If a container grown tree, it will need more watering until its roots are established. It should be watered every other day or so for the first few months. Then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year it should have an established enough root system to support itself, just water when required as explained above for bare roots. When watering a tree it is important to give a good soaking. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often as this encourages the roots to grow down into the ground.
Full sun
Plant where the tree will receive around 6-8 hours of sunlight daily in spring/summer.
Happy in most soils
Prefers fertile well draining soil, can also tolerate clay soil but you will need to take some steps to improve drainage in the winter.
