The Huntsville Tree Commission with Green Team notes that summers in North Alabama can bring drought conditions and that mature trees require deep watering during extended dry periods. A soaker hose—preferably the round, porous type—is considered one of the most effective methods for watering established trees. Hoses are typically placed on the ground beneath the outer branches along the crown’s dripline and used for up to eight hours every 7 to 10 days, as needed.
