1. Set a garden hose at the base of the tree, and let it trickle for 15 minutes.
2. Perforate a 5-gallon plastic bucket with several holes, place it near the trunk of the tree and fill it with water. Allow the water to seep out, then repeat.
After the tree has been established for two years the root structure is better able to withstand a wider range of water conditions.
