December Landscape Watering Reminder

From the City of Mesa:

While our typical first frost date is around Dec. 12, early frosts have
already nipped the tops of some cold-sensitive plants causing the tips to
wilt or turn black. Learn about frost and how to protect your plants in a
University of Arizona publication at http://tinyurl.com/y9usell.

For frost warning advisories, visit the National Weather Service Phoenix Web site at http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/psr/.

Recommendations below are for plants that are established in the landscape
(in the ground about 2 years).
Lawn watering:
     Summer grass (dormant Bermuda) - once every 30 days
     Overseeded cool season grass (rye) - once every 10-14 days.
If trees and shrubs are on the same valve:
     Desert Adapted - once every 35 days
     High Water Use - once every 18 days
Tree watering:
     Desert Adapted - once every 45 days
     High Water Use - once every 21 days
