Tree roots need to breathe just like\nus in order to survive. So when they are engulfed in a pool of water, they\nactually drown. However, there are some tree species that have evolved overtime\nto grow and thrive without as much air, making them the perfect choices for marshy\nor flood-prone areas, and even standing water. In fact, some of these same\ntrees are often incorporated into certain landscapes to <em>correct<\/em> poor water drainage issues!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended Tree Species for Wet Areas:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><div style=\"float: left; width: 50%;\">\n<ul>&#10086; American Sweetgum<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2766  Atlantic White Cedar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2766  Bald Cypress<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2766  Black Ash<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2766  Black Tupelo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2766  Freeman Maple<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2766  Green Ash<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2766  Hackberry<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2766  Nuttal Oak<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#10086; Overcup Oak<\/p><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"float: right; width: 50%;\">\n<ul>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2766  Pear <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2766  Pin Oak <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2766  Plane Tree <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2766  Pond Cypress <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2766  Pumpkin Ash <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2766  Red Maple <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2766  River Birch<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2766  Sweetbay Magnolia <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2766  Water Tupelo <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2766 Willow<\/p><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Fair Warning&#8230;<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Before planting such trees on your marshy or flood-prone\nproperty, be warned that some of these roots tend to disrupt underground\nutilities and plumbing pipes if they are not properly located.
