Summer residents who have only recently decided to devote themselves to their garden and vegetable garden often have questions related to caring for crops.

One of them is: “Is it possible to water trees using the sprinkler method?”

Experienced “colleagues in the industry” claim: this procedure is suitable for seedlings and young trees if the summer is hot and dry.

The main thing that should not be forgotten at such moments is that sprinkling is only allowed on a cloudy day.

It is even better to resort to the procedure in the evening at sunset or after sunset.

Otherwise, if you give the trees a “shower” during the day, there is a high probability of burns.

As for adult fruit-bearing trees, in this case sprinkling is carried out as a preventative measure against the possible onset of recurrent frosts.

To increase the resistance of the leafy crown to sudden temperature fluctuations, the “operation” is carried out throughout the night and completed before dawn.
