I guess it depends a bit on your soil mix. JBP grow abundantly below the high tide line at the seashore and spend some time with nebaris completely covered by water. If your soil drains properly, you cannot overwater a JBP. If your soil is fine and stays damp, you certainly can.

I have heard for years to refrain from feeding and watering JBP in spring to keep the needles short. This is a fallacy that leads to very weak trees. I am certain this is not what Guy was advocating, but I wish I could hear the entire lecture to get the whole picture.
