It is no secret that trees need water to survive but too much of anything can be harmful. Further, trees need more than just water to grow. Believe it or not, trees do not create oxygen for only animals and humans. Plants and trees require air in order to function just as we do. Flooding fills airspace with water, causing roots to experience anaerobic conditions and struggle to breathe. This can lead to damage to the trees. If you live in areas that are susceptible to floods and storms, you might be wondering what trees to plant. Sesmas Tree Service has years of experience dealing with trees and we hope this article is helpful.
Advantages of 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.
