Dew may
be enough for some desert plants and Horn Toads, but for the broadleaf and
conifer evergreens around here, they’re going to need a little more than that,
I’m afraid.
I know
you may have pacted up the hose for the year, but I believe this is important
for your plant’s survival. This summer I missed it, where my Arbs were
concerned, I watered them a little too late, and I don’t want a repeat of that
this coming spring.
Watering
should be concentrated around the base of the plant; a slow trickle will keep
the water from flowing beyond the root mass. An hour on each plant will wet
down to about 10 to 12 inches, giving the roots something to draw on to keep
them hydrated; and come spring there will be enough moisture within the plant
to keep them from browning out during a brief warm up.
