Hi all, I just joined this chat forum and I'm looking for some advice. About five days ago I had a large 16 foot silver bismark transplanted in my front yard. I purchased this tree from a reputable nursery in town and had them professionally install it. All went fine. The person who helped transplant the tree said to water the bismark for 30 days straight. He said water enough to where the soil is compact but not runny. Whatever that means.  Then 2-3 times per week thereafter. They put 2 x4s around the tree and banded them for support. Now the weather in Cape Coral is getting somewhat cold over the Christmas holiday weekend. Lows of 34...highs of 48 degrees. Is it safe to water my bismark transplanted in this cold weather? Any advice on just how much water a tree this size needs...in gallons? And, is it safe to water my bismark in these cold temperatures? Thanks, Mike
