On the one hand, they are an important <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baumpflegeportal.de\/baumwissen\/10_gruende_warum_menschen_baeume_brauchen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">habitat for a wide variety of animal species<\/a> such as birds, small animals and insects. And they do this from the roots to the tree trunk to the tree crown. They provide shelter, food and nesting opportunities for them, which are increasingly endangered in cities. Their importance for our urban ecosystem should not be underestimated. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.de\/tiere\/2020\/06\/5-wichtige-aufgaben-von-insekten-und-was-in-einer-welt-ohne-sie-passieren-koennte\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Insects in particular<\/a> are central to the preservation of our urban flora and fauna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, urban trees function like <a href=\"https:\/\/botanikguide.de\/baeume-kuehlen-staedte-wie-natuerliche-klimaanlagen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">urban air conditioning systems<\/a>. They filter pollutants from the air (among other things, they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wald.de\/waldwissen\/wie-viel-kohlendioxid-co2-speichert-der-wald-bzw-ein-baum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bind enormous amounts of CO2<\/a>), cool the environment with their shade and at the same time protect the soil from further drying out. This makes them an increasingly important form of protection against the backdrop of ongoing climate change.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color\" id=\"when\">When do our trees need extra water?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During <strong>dry periods that last longer than a week<\/strong> and are also exceptionally hot, it is already worth looking out for thirsty trees. You can recognise dry trees in most cases by drooping and brown leaves or by the fact that they drop their fruit prematurely. But even if the tree does not yet show any signs of drought stress, it is happy about every sip of water. So it is better to water once too often than too little!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color\" id=\"which\">How do you know which city trees to water?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.giessdenkiez.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"499\" src=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bildschirmfoto-2022-06-28-um-16.06.18-1024x499.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bildschirmfoto-2022-06-28-um-16.06.18-1024x499.png 1024w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bildschirmfoto-2022-06-28-um-16.06.18-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bildschirmfoto-2022-06-28-um-16.06.18-768x374.png 768w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bildschirmfoto-2022-06-28-um-16.06.18-1536x748.png 1536w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bildschirmfoto-2022-06-28-um-16.06.18-816x398.png 816w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bildschirmfoto-2022-06-28-um-16.06.18.png 1915w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot of the <a href=\"https:\/\/giessdenkiez.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">giessdenkiez app<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The most useful and sustainable approach is to find one (or more) trees in your immediate surrounding and take care of them regularly. Be it in front of your house, on your way to work or during a walk. Young trees in particular are dependent on sufficient water during dry periods, as their roots are not yet deep enough and they do not yet have large reserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Special apps for watering trees<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Apps such as <a href=\"https:\/\/giessdenkiez.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">giessdenkiez<\/a> (for Berlin) or <a href=\"https:\/\/giessdeinviertel.codeforleipzig.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">giessdeinviertel<\/a> (for Leipzig) now provide comprehensive interactive overviews of all urban trees, including information on their species, age, name and water requirements. Here you can find out which trees need water. And you have the option of registering and &#8220;adopting&#8221; a tree, whose watering you then take care of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tree sponsorships via the city<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Many cities and municipalities &#8211; such as the city of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stadt-koeln.de\/leben-in-koeln\/freizeit-natur-sport\/wald\/trockenheit-kraefte-buendeln-fuer-die-koelner-baeume\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cologne<\/a> &#8211; actively call on their citizens to support them by sponsoring trees and distributing so-called watering bags, which can be used to water the city trees sustainably. To find out if your municipality or city offers such a service, do an online search for &#8220;watering trees + city&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get involved via vostel.de<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Through our volunteering platform <a href=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/en\/volunteering\/projects\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vostel.de<\/a>, you can also find projects to water city trees. For example, in the north of Berlin you can take care of the watering and maintenance of young trees suffering from the heat. Volunteers from the organisation <a href=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/en\/volunteering\/organisations\/1556_aufBuchen-e-V\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">aufBuchen e.V.<\/a> meet every fortnight on Wednesday evenings in Bucher Forst to remove weeds and water the tree seedlings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/en\/volunteering\/projects\/5499_aufBuchen-e-V_Wednesday-meeting-watering-and-care-of-tree-seedlings-Bucher-Forst-Berlin_Berlin\" style=\"border-radius:20px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Join them now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color\" id=\"aware\">What should you be aware of when watering trees?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Young urban trees, especially in their first 5\u201310 years, need regular watering \u2013 ideally around 100 litres (roughly 10 watering cans) twice a month from April to August. Water slowly and directly at the base of the trunk so it can soak deep into the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This encourages deep root growth \u2013 if you water too lightly or too often, roots will stay near the surface, making the tree more vulnerable to drought and heat. Also make sure not to wash away the soil with a strong water jet, as this can expose the roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watering bags can also help distribute water evenly. However, they should be checked regularly and removed in autumn to prevent fungal growth and ensure the moisture doesn\u2019t remain too shallow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid overwatering \u2013 permanently soggy soil can deprive roots of oxygen. Trees that have been in place for over 10 years should be able to supply themselves with water. Giving them small amounts achieves little and wastes precious drinking water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color\" id=\"together\">Watering city trees together is even more fun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Watering trees together can also be a nice activity with friends or neighbours. Simply put up a notice in your house and find people who would like to join you in watering trees.
