Default Garden that floods


Nick wrote in message |

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


There are a couple of very large Crack Willows on the site already, one of
which has fallen over and appears to have rooted through the (3ft dia)
trunk! Silt did build up behind this barrier.
The couple concerned do not want either of these trees touched.

How they intend to drag their punt over this huge log, goodness knows. :-)
