A soaking, yes - that amount of one, I would be less certain. If
you look at the habitats where they grow naturally, they are often
wet, but I don't associate them with flood plains. I could be
wrong. At least in the case of F. meleagris, I would expect it to
be unconcerned about flooding in autumn or winter, but less happy
with extended flooding in spring.

Upon rechecking, I was wrong about dogwoods - only SOME are adapted
to growing in flood plains. But most willows are, as is Taxodium.
