Watering your trees in Winter

Don't water your Live Oak trees just before a freeze. Last year, 2010, I saw a Live Oak split like a water pipe because its owner watered it the day before a freeze. The leaf surface must have reached a temprature warm enough to allow the Stomates in the leaves to open and transpire, pulling water into the tree's vassal cells the day before the freeze. That night it froze and split the tree down its side in a couple of places. I never heard if the tree survived. It probably did since it was so young.  You can research your questions directly from my site aPerfectTree.com in the search box, or right here.

Tree Suggestions

One idea is to use one of those small brass nozzle on the end of your water hose to spray any snow off your trees. Have your Oak trees pruned now until the temperature is above 40 degrees then avoid pruning until it's above 90. Don't raise the dirt level around the base of your trees. Any Questions???
