- Selecting a Tree
- Q: How do I select a variety of tree for my landscape?
- Q: I have a wet area in my yard, what kind of tree can tolerate wet conditions?
- A: A tree or plant will only use as much water as it needs to grow. The larger the plant the more water it will use. Tree varieties that are adaptable to wet conditions are pin oak, willows, and honey locust. For more information contact your county Extension office or visit Treesaregood.com, a website that is sponsored by the International Society of Arboriculture and which provides detailed tree selection information.
