Trees That Can Survive Flooding

Trees can suffocate if they are covered in water but some water loving trees do have an ability to grow roots without needing much air. So, if you live in a marshy area or experience frequent floods and storms, there are options. In fact, wet soil trees are great for soaking up excess water in your yard. Strategic placement of wet soil trees in your yard can use up excess water in the vicinity and dry the surrounding area, making room for other plants and vegetation that are not built to handle excessive water.

It is important to remember, however, that wet soil trees do tend to have more extensive and invasive roots. Be sure to keep these trees happy with more than enough water. Otherwise, they will seek water on their own by extending roots that can cause damage to pipes and septic systems. The professionals at Sesmas Tree Service can help you determine the best locations to plant your wet soil tree to minimize risk of damage to pipes.
