Continue to water your evergreens as often as once a week in the absence of rainfall as long as the air temperature is above freezing. This is especially for trees and shrubs that were just planted earlier this fall. Don't water when it's below freezing, however, because the formation of ice can damage trees and shrubs. A half-strength feeding of Holly-Tone is recommended in late fall. This will help harden off new growth, aid in root development, and enable the roots to store food for use in early spring.
