1 Comment To "Watering a date palm"

A date palm grown outdoors should typically be watered 2-3 times a week. It may need to be watered more often than that when it is first getting established. Also, it will need less water during winter or wetter seasons and more water during summer or drought conditions. To check whether you’re watering correctly, feel the soil an inch down- it should be consistently moist there, but the surface doesn’t need to stay moist all the time. And yes, you should water well after fertilizing to avoid damage to the tree from salts in the fertilizer (this applies to conventional fertilizers, but not compost.)
