Some gardens have loamy, rather moist soil, which would only take a lot of effort to drain. Or you are looking for a suitable tree to plant in the newly created garden pond. Fortunately, the selection of tree species that require a lot of water is quite large - so you can also find trees that are suitable for damp locations.
Which trees prefer moist locations and require a lot of water?
Trees that require a lot of water include white poplar, white willow, black poplar, black alder, ash, bird cherry, field elm and various types of willow such as osier, almond willow, purple willow, gray willow and ear willow. These species are well suited to moist locations.
Which trees prefer moist locations?
In rather humid locations in the garden, you should plant trees that can tolerate a lot of water and feel comfortable in such an environment. For native species you can use the following:
- White poplar (Populus alba)
- White willow (Salix alba)
- Black poplar (Populus nigra)
- Black alder (Alnus glutinosa) and other alder species
- Ash (Fraxinus excelsior)
- Black Cherry (Prunus padus)
- Field elm (Ulmus minor)
Also other types of willow such as this one
- Bassier (Salix viminalis)
- Almond willow (Salix triandra)
- Purple willow (Salix purpurea)
- Grey willow (Salix cinerea)
- Ear willow (Salix aurita)
are ideal for damp locations. You also don't mind having wet feet at all.
Tip
So that the moisture in the soil is retained better, you should mulch the tree disc thickly. This prevents excessive evaporation.
