Some summer residents own plots of land located in lowlands where rain and melt water regularly accumulate.

Because of this, the soil becomes less suitable for growing crops.

For a summer resident, solving this problem is a real puzzle - fortunately, you can resort to the help of some trees.

Let's pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

What trees are suitable for a swampy area?

Here are some options.

  1. Birch. This tree has a large root system. Representatives of this species are long-lived and easy to grow.
  2. Willow. It grows quickly and has a beautiful crown.
  3. Tsuga. Not only does it consume a lot of water, but it is also classified as an ornamental tree.
  4. Plum. Loves water very much – an excellent choice for an excessively damp area.
  5. Alder. These trees simply love to grow along the banks of rivers and streams.
