Winter might feel like the time to completely ignore your garden, but your trees and shrubs are quietly plotting their survival. Cold winds, frozen soil, and dry indoor air can stress even the hardiest species, and without proper hydration, they risk desiccation, root damage, or stunted growth come spring.
Watering in winter isn’t about flooding the soil or soaking the leaves; it’s a precise balance of timing, technique, and observation. Done right, it can mean a lush, healthy garden ready to explode with life once the sun returns. Done wrong, and you could be nursing sad, droopy branches all season.
