| I think I am in zone 5 (I'm in Kansas) and I purchased a 4 ft pee gee hydrangea tree. It is in direct Sun, which I have looked up and found that this variety loves full Sun. It was just planted today and my question is, how much water do I give it right now since it is newly planted? Thanks so much for any help you can give me. |

| We cannot tell you how much water your tree/shrub needs in your situation, without being there. It depends on how well your soil drains, how moist your soil is, how much it rains, what the weather's like, and countless other factors. You can tell how much water your tree/shrub needs fairly easily. At planting, you should thoroughly wet the soil (surrounding and in the rootball), down to at least the level of the bottom of the rootball. Then, read section 12 in the link below. |

| brandon7, Wow, I do not have all of these answers. The tree was planted on the corner of my house,in direct Sun. Every other plant is flourishing in that area without me putting anything on them and they, getting only water from the irrigation system. The weather here is Kansas right now is hot and about 77. But, I would like to thank you for giving me some info on the watering. |
