Got 100 Cedars and Walnut Trees to plant.In the past I've always planted Trees water them good when I put the out.But once they were planted they were on their own.

Think I should do that now with it being so dry,hope for the best?

Or just heal them in some where,keep them water until it looks more promising for rain?

It was so dry when we planted our pine trees last year they all died, so I probably shouldn't give you any advice on this subject.

Please plant the walnuts 20ft apart... in 20yrs they will pay for your kids college and you will kill lots of tree rats under them... patience....

I'd hill them in and plant them ahead of a good rain this spring.

Unless it really powder dry where you are I would go ahead and plant them. The trees aren't really drawing on moisture right now but need just enough to prevent the roots from drying out. Surely we'll get some rain in March!

rat - more like 40+ years on ideal ground. and keep trimming those lower branches off to produce veneer logs.

well, is the ground moist? if so, go ahead and plant, i just got done w/ 250 different trees, what i did was fill a 5 gal bucket with water, put a bundle of trees in then went and planted them. the roots never dried out, and the soil was wet enough to keep the roots in good shape....

if you cant plant, then go to the garden , hem them in, and keep them watered.

good luck with your plantin
