If the flowers in your yard go for a week without any water, what happens? You will definitely notice a difference in how they look because they will be wilted and withering. Depending on the type of flower and the climate in your area, they may even be dead after a week of no water. In contrast, what happens when the trees and shrubs in your yard go for a week without water? For large trees and shrubs, one week without water will not have a noticeable impact.
