While the trees are changing colors and showing us the beauty of letting go, it is best to keep caring for them going into the winter season. Fall and winter watering is something to keep in mind as the soil dries out and the temperatures cool down. Water during the day when temperatures are at least 40–50°F, and finish before sunset so the water has time to drain into the soil. It is okay to water about 1–2 times a month during the cooler months.
