[quote=MacDougalbry;1038119]Generally, that is the common wisdom on watering in winter, but the Chinook thing is tricky... if you have plants or trees with shallow roots, you don't want them getting "freeze dried" either if the ground starts drying out. At one of the CalHort events last February, Jim Hole actually advised people to consider light watering as early as the end of February if the Chinooks start drying out the ground.[/quote]
As do Barry Erskine and Wade Hartwell on the "Let's Get Gardening" hourly Sunday show on QR770. But you only water the ground, do not water the branches or needles if the tree is an evergreen.
