Watering young trees in hot weather - Alert 🚨 The Arboricultural Association is joining forces with the @WoodlandTrust and local authority tree officer associations to urge the public to water their new street trees using recycled rainwater or grey water, such as washing up water. 🚰   Get Involved: trees.org.uk/watering Find out more: trees.org.uk/News-Blog/Lates…   According to UN scientists 2023 was the hottest year ever recorded globally. The most recent large-scale study showed that 30 percent of newly planted street trees die within the first years of planting. Young trees need water to survive, and these increasingly long periods of extreme heat and a general lack of resources make it difficult for planting projects to put effective aftercare and watering plans in place.   You can help young trees thrive into the future by watering young trees near you over the summer months.    More than 1000 tree species are flagged as at risk due to climate change, including city dwelling oaks, maples, poplars and chestnuts. Established mature trees are able to find their own water. It is recommended that newly planted trees are given 50 litres of water per week during the summer months, for the first three years after planting.   Planting a tree is just the start of the story and now a coalition of organisations is campaigning to make sure that tree planting efforts don’t go to waste and to ensure that aftercare plans are in place.   The Arboricultural Association and local authority tree officer associations launched the campaign to engage the public in connecting with their trees and understanding the importance of tree aftercare and arboricultural knowledge. #wateryourtrees #watering #arboriculture #trees #youngtrees #treeplanting
