Even after your irrigation system has been shut down for the winter, trees and shrubs still need water, especially if they are newly planted. And keep watering until the ground starts to freeze. This is will help prevent them from drying out in the harsh winter winds. Water away from the base of the trees - a couple of feet away from the trunk. Too close to the trunk can lead to pest problems. Water under the canopy of the tree...and it should be a slow trickle from the hose.
