Watering a Kratom tree recovering from winter

Watering a Kratom tree recovering from winter- When We first got this tree in the ground we were in the middle of winter which is why the tree looks so bare. At the time of writing this the tree featured in this video is now absolutely massive. We want to ensure kratom trees get watered at the kratom nursery however there are some reasons that may not normally be discussed. When the temperatures drop the trees will go dormant. Kratom trees can not withstand temps below 40 degrees. However we found that by watering the tree we were able to increase the temperature of the roots of the trees by 10 degrees Fahrenheit. This made all the difference during winter as we were able to keep most of the leaf on our trees during winter. However this would be the old method for how we deal with kratom in winter.

We have found that the best way to keep kratom outdoors and indoors in winter is by doing the Rugh Stout Method otherwise known as permaculture. By adding hay to the roots of the tree you can keep the roots of the tree warm while keeping them moist as the hay hold moisture so much easier. Also as you lay hay over time it will create a compounding effect as it provides nutrients over time that compound over the roots.
