Good point on the watering... I didn't think of that possibility.
About three years ago I bought four six foot pyramidal arbs for a wind block on my back porch. Pretty big root balls, a lot of digging with a shovel. I made sure they got plenty of water since I didn't want to lose them after all that work. If I recall, my water bill more than doubled for a few months. Kept them watered well the next summer, too. I also planted mine in the late fall.
Luckily, they are doing well now and almost up to the bottom edge of the roof.

The only thing I would like to know is what is a water bill! Not sure I understand what that means. Esp. doubled?
