What you need to know about winter watering
1. When a sudden drop in temperature is in the forecast, adequately water all of your shrubbery, trees and beds. Doing this a day in advance will act as insulation to the plant's roots by allowing your soil to compact around them before the freeze comes.
2. Your plants still need water during the winter, but less than during the spring and summer. Water when dry spells continue past a few weeks.
3. Apply water down by the roots and avoid splashing water on the stems and leaves.
4. Lay mulch around your plants and trees to add additional layers for warmth.
