Re: Enquiry by Brendan George, re irrigation scheduling of trees.

You may be interested in a recent reference which describes use of 
Irricrop's `Watermark' sensors for monitoring soil moisture around 
trees (in this case urban street trees):

estimating post-planting street tree irrigation requirements.
