Answer 1

I’ve never grown a tree from a seed before, but I have planted trees from saplings and I never watered them once. The trees I planted were native to the area and used to the amount of rain we had and the type of soil we had and were planted as a way to get rid of ground water. Once I put the saplings into the ground they stayed there for the next 20 years.

I think the only factors would be if the area is being affected by drought or if the plant is used to wetter climates. Trees mostly do fine without outside intervention
