Any watering would be really beneficial to the trees. If you’re unsure as to how to go about it, here’s a few handy pointers:

It’s best to give trees one big drink a week, although watering them more often is fine during very hot weatherIdeally, aim to use one or two 10L watering cans or buckets each time, but anything you can manage is greatWatering at any time is obviously better than no watering at all, yet try to avoid the hottest part of the day. The best time to water a tree is either in the early morning or the eveningTap water, rainwater or even bath and dishwater is fine. Please make sure though that no chemicals stronger than washing-up liquid are in the mixYou can slowly pour the water over the roots, letting it soak deep into the soil. Alternatively, you can put water in the black watering tube at the base of the tree
