Watering trees

[Reg Smeeton]

I don't know how much tree-watering Southwark Council is doing in this hot weather, but if you have a young tree on the street near you, keep an eye on it, and if there's no sign of it being watered then do consider giving it a decent drink.

We might get a tiny bit of rain this week, but regardless please water any young street trees near to you (give a tree a full watering-can of water every three days). They're parched, and it's hard to over-water them!

The two small bushes in the square plot at Cyrena/Whateley are burnt to a crisp. If anyone loves trees (and the benefits they bring to animals and humans) please water them, ideally with waste water.

Another reminder that in this blistering heat, there are young trees going thirsty. If your local tree is looking parched, do give it a watering can's worth of water over the weekend. This should tide it over to the rain that the forecasts suggest will arrive next week.

Totally agree

I agree and have watered an established tree near me. I’d like it a lot if a pub or business that has plenty of grey water would adopt a new tree if one’s nearby and water it daily.

Do you have young trees on your street?  Do think about giving them a watering-can's worth of water.  Even if we get some rain today, the forecast is for another couple of weeks of dry weather.
