Can anyone tell me how much submersion a mature Oak might be able to take without undue side effects?
Basically I have an Oak that dips it's 'toes' into a stream.
This stream may soon have it's levels raised, and this will put about 1/2 of the base of the Oak (it comes out of the bank at an angle) in permanent submersion. How will the tree lilely to be affected.
Thanks in advance.
