VoodooChile is on a distinguished road
It is not too late to incorporate a moisture retaining polymer into the soil immediately outside of the White Pine's rootballs. Soil Moist is the brand in my cabinet right now. Work up the soil adjacent to the rootball 4"-6" deep, apply at label rates, and then flood the soil to helps settl the polymer more deeply into the soil.

I planted 10 bare-root fruit trees with this stuff in April and haven't watered them since. Then again, we are drowning from rain...
