How Often To Water Italian Cypress

Question

How regularly should I water Italian Cypress?

Answer 1

You will want to water once the soil is dry, completely, down to about 3 or 4 inches. There is no set time frame for this, as it will be determined by the climate at any given time.

Typically, unless there is a drought, extra water will not be necessary, as the soil takes quite a while to dry down to that depth, especially in your area, but you may require extra watering during the dry periods. Here is an article that will offer more information on the tree:
