First Year Blue Hill Applecrab

[KSQ2]

Does this tree look like it's in need of watering? I'm having a hard time deciding. With all the rain we've received, I haven't had to water anything yet this year, honestly, it hasn't even crossed my mind. The Massey got some rain last night too, but I'm not sure how much. Anyhow, nothing looks to be laboring, but this tree did look a little off when compared to the other Blue Hill first year trees -- I planted them this spring.

Go out away from the tree a few feet and dig a hole to check the moisture about 16 inches deep. That should tell you how dry it is.

I'm confident there would be moisture within 16" right now. It can wait a while anyway, I was told by the neighbor that we got 1" last night! Good grief, it has been an incredible year so far!!
