Rule of thumb for Watering Newly planted Shrubs and trees

I planted about 17X 5 gallon cleyeras and 11X 7 gallon teddy bear magnolias and some 15 gallon cypress trees. They say to water deep once or twice a week. Not sure what water deep means.

5 gallons of water for 5 gallon shrub? 7 gallons of water for 7 gallon shrub? I have been doing 30 second count for the 7 gallon magnolias but that is only 2.5 gallons of water give or take.
