PLANT WATERING GUIDELINES & ESTABLISHMENT BY A&P NURSERY IN ARIZONA!
The watering guidelines are designed for established plants. On average, the root system of a shrub will be well established after one year, and a tree after three years. New plantings need to be watered more frequently. The schedule below offers guidelines to help new plants get established.
VERY IMPORTANT!
To determine the watering frequency that is best for your landscape, simply take these variables – plant type and size, soil type, and plant establishment into account. For example, if you have small plants in sandy soil, water at the more frequent end of the range. For large plants in clay soil, water on the less frequent end of the range. Through observation and periodic checks for underwatering or overwatering, you will get a good feel for your plants’ water needs. Remember that the best fertilizer for the garden is the gardener’s shadow.
WATERING SCHEDULE FOR NEWLY PLANTED DESERT ADAPTED PLANTS
PLEASE NOTE: After Week 8, gradually extend the time between irrigations until plants are established and move the drip emitters to the outer edge of the root ball. High water use plants will require more frequent irrigation!

“Impressed with the friendly and helpful customer service. All my questions were answered and helpful recommendations given. I purchased all the plants for last year’s garden here as well, and had great results with in-ground and potted plants. I love that two gentlemen were kind enough to carry my purchases out to the car for me this morning. This is the kind of business that I want to support, now more than ever! Happy to spend my dollars here rather than at a big box retailer. Such a better experience all around! Thanks A&P!”

“I needed to buy some bushes for my home. Not knowing what I was looking for, I knew I would need help. I went to Home Depot…no help…I went to Lowe’s…no help. Then I remembered A&P Nursery. What a find. As soon as I walked through the door, I was asked if I needed help. The young man that assisted me was sweet, kind, and knowledgeable. I was in and out within 15 minutes. He took the plants to the register and then proceeded to place protection in my car and loaded up the car for me…I highly recommend A&P Nursery.”

“I have to start with the outstanding customer service that my wife and I received. We bought a dwarf palm and a raspberry ice plant. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. The staff did it all packed our plants recommended needed soil and loaded it up with no problem.I will only be going to this location because of the friendly staff and great customer service! If you want top notch service and beautiful plants, trees and anything you need for beautiful landscape go here.”

“My wife and I have been shopping at the A&P nursery on Baseline and Lindsay for over 15 years and we have always had exceptional service. They staff is always willing and able to help us out – with educating us on what plants/trees would work best in various situations as well as always willing to assist us with loading. There are several options closer to my home but I will always continue to support the local business. Highly recommend this place!”

“A&P Nursery in Gilbert has been my family’s go to place for years so when I bought my home there was no question on where I’d go. They have a great selection of plants and flowers. And, most importantly for me, a very friendly and knowledgable staff. They’ve all gone above and beyond to help me on many occasions, especially Luke. They are all locals and understand our growing climate. And if you are really lucky, you’ll get to see the cat.”

“All around a great experience! Very happy with our plants (we ordered north of 70+ plants) and the pricing was the best out of 5 nurseries we went to. From the moment we walked in, Dylan stepped up to help answer all our questions and was the one who also did the install. He was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond on the install. Will be back again soon!”

“Amazing customer service!! I’m so impressed. We’re new homeowners and had no idea what kind of plants we wanted. I unfortunately didn’t get his name but he was so knowledgeable and pointed us in the right direction! Very thankful we stopped by A&P Nursery. This will definitely be my go to.”

“Oh my gosh! The guys at AP are so helpful and knowledgeable. Garrett even remembered my name and took the plastic out of my car door to line my ride while I paid. Of, course the plants are healthy, as they’re local grown. Love this place!”
