If you have hogs dont use the moisture mizer. Ive had them root it up.

I rarely water what I plant. My in-laws water the first two years until they are fully established. You could even haul water in 5 gallon buckets during very dry times if needed. Another tip is to put a small hole, maybe 1/16 or so in a 5 gallon bucket so if drips inyo the root zone. Fill from 5 gallon buckets once a week.

A lot depends on your soil. Keeping grass competition away from the tree helps a lot too.


"Cull" is just another four letter word...
