Best Answer

probrably 1 and a half cup of water.

Do you mean how much water a tree TRANSPIRES (takes up and evaporates) or how much it keeps inside the tree body?

A mature, large Doug fir can consume up to 800 gallons a day if available but will subsist on far less as necessary (Peter Rennie, RPF Consulting Forester and Arborist).
