The City of Kelowna is asking residents to lend a hand and water city-owned trees this summer.

Recent dry weather poses a threat to young trees, which need at least a bucket of water per week for at least the first three years after they91裸聊视频檙e planted, according to the city.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e currently experiencing an unprecedented drought and not all of our trees are irrigated,91裸聊视频 said Andrew Hunsberger, the city91裸聊视频檚 urban forestry supervisor. 91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e asking homeowners to help us care for the young trees planted on streets and boulevards near their homes. By working together to keep these trees healthy, we can all do our part to grow and nurture our urban tree canopy in Kelowna.91裸聊视频

The request comes just a couple of days after the city urged residents to conserve water this summer.

91裸聊视频淲ater is a precious resource and we need to think carefully about how and when we use it,91裸聊视频 said Hunsberger. 91裸聊视频淗owever, Kelowna91裸聊视频檚 tree canopy is also an incredibly important part of our city and will pay us back with shade that will reduce water use in the future.91裸聊视频

The city offers the following tips for those looking to help out:

  • Slowly release water at the base of the tree for at least 15 minutes one to two times per week.
  • Water slowly to soak deep into the ground and encourage a healthy root system.
  • Water during cooler times of the day as trees will soak up more water when it91裸聊视频檚 cooler.
  • Remember to water even if it rains. Kelowna does not typically get enough rain to keep our trees hydrated.

The city also asks residents not to cut or prune the trees, only water them.
