WESSON OIL
If the tree is planted in san-
dy;.^soil, it should receive deep
soakings every five to six days,
however,, if the tree base is in
heavy, clay-like soil, watering
should be spated to every sev-
en to ten days, she said. Heavy
soils will take water more
slowly but hold it longer,
whereas sandy soils soak up
wafer rapidly but also lose It
faster beijause-they are more
porous, she explained. .
“The type of soil in which
the tree or shrub is planted is
a deciding factor in determin-
ing just how much water Is
adequate,” Mrs. Newberry
said.
’ A plant growing in sandy soil
will also need a larger volume
of water because much of it
will be lost through evapora-
tion, Mrs. Newberiy sai<£„ ad-
ding that watering in the morn-
ing will accomplish two desire-
able effects.
“First, water Ls allowed time
to soak into the groung before
the midday sun evaporates

much- of it," Mrs. Newberry
said. “Second, there will be
less chance of mildew, fungi,
and root rot?’
“The plant will'store up the
water so you can water less
frequently or decrease the
soaking time a little and this
will help to reduce the water
A mulch of lawn clippings,
manure or other organic ma-
terials wiN keep the soil moist
longer, Mrs. Newberry said.
A mulch of barnyard- manure
should be used only if the tree
or shrub is not planted in the
lawn, she added.
In watering a tree, Mrs.
Newberry advises that the wa-
tering area be larger than the
circumference of the branches.
Only then will the feeding roots
of the tree be in moist soil.
“The fallacious notion that
the main woody roots that
sometimes protrude at the tree
base are the organs through
which water is absorbed, in-
fluences home gardeners to
water just under the trunk of
the tree,” Mrs. Newberry ex-
plained. “It is the small feeder
roots which spread about the
same area as the above-ground
portion of the tree that enable
the plant to drink.”
A basis of three to four feet
in diameter around the base of
a small tree may be sufficient,
but larger trees may need a
water sprinkler to cover the
adequate area, the Home De-
monstration Agent said.
