Arizona’s dry season can be tough on trees. With intense heat, low humidity, and little rainfall, improper watering can lead to stressed, weakened, or even dead trees. Whether you have ornamental shade trees or fruit-bearing varieties, knowing how to water them the right way can make the difference between thriving greenery and a struggling landscape.
At PROS Tree and Landscape, we know Arizona’s climate inside and out. This guide will walk you through the best practices for keeping your trees healthy during the driest months.

When temperatures soar and rain is scarce, trees lose moisture quickly. Without adequate water, roots dry out, growth slows, and trees become more susceptible to pests and disease.
Consistent and efficient watering not only keeps your trees alive — it helps them flourish.
Water your trees early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation and allow roots to absorb moisture efficiently. Avoid midday watering when the sun is strongest — most of the water will evaporate before it reaches the roots.
In Arizona’s driest months, deep watering is key. Shallow, frequent watering encourages surface roots, which are more vulnerable to heat stress.
For mature trees, soak the soil to a depth of 2–3 feet. Young trees need more frequent watering but with smaller volumes each time to encourage root establishment.
💡 Tip: A slow, deep soak once or twice a week is better than daily light watering.
Soaker Hoses – Distribute water evenly and prevent runoff.
Drip Irrigation – Delivers water directly to the root zone with minimal waste.
Deep Root Watering Tools – Push water deeper into the soil for stronger root systems.
You can find more water conservation tips from the Arizona Department of Water Resources.
Besides watering, consider adding a layer of mulch around the base of your trees (2–4 inches thick) to help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature. Avoid piling mulch directly against the trunk.
