When you do water, water deep so all the roots are wet. The next time to water will be when about 60% of the water is gone. How to measure that? Use a soil moisture meter with its tip put at about one third of the root depth.

So to answer your question the only reason growth on the top of plants will grow down is because of competition for light by tops growing up. You can CAUSE plants to grow downward against their will by weighting them with artificial weights or if they are heavy with fruit (think pomegranates) or seed pods.Xtremehorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853242804620705710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178251735693144694.post-23932329646387037462023-07-30T07:25:50.359-07:002023-07-30T07:25:50.359-07:00I lived in a climate that is like that at one time...I lived in a climate that is like that at one time. If you have plenty of water then any tree or shrub that will take those cold temperatures will work. The cold temperatures will limit the tree or shrub. Do that first. Available water limits the TYPE of plant you can use. Do that second. Native plants are always more desirable.Xtremehorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853242804620705710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178251735693144694.post-55221962726948947152023-07-30T07:20:45.731-07:002023-07-30T07:20:45.731-07:00It depends on how severe the infestation is.
