Willows cope well with wet roots
These trees can also be planted in stunned soils
Especially on the banks of water bodies are wet to wet, also there may awake plants at times even with their feet in the water. Few trees tolerate such soil conditions: Some alder and willow species are suitable for the home garden. Both types of trees manage perfectly with waterlogging.
Willows tolerate permanently wet feet
Willows grow practically everywhere and most of all where there is a lot of water. In addition, these uncomplicated trees have the advantage that they make the soil a bit drier due to their high water consumption: in principle, they function like a living drainage. For this reason, pastures are often found along fields or field paths. The following types of willow are best suited for planting in the garden:
Salix caprea, Sal-willow:
This is a widespread, native species with between five and ten feet tall, short trunk and relatively thick branches. Of this type are often cultivated high-stemmed hangs forms. In them, the branches, which wake downwards in bows, form bell-shaped crowns.
Salix integra, Hakuro Nishiki ', Japanese willow
This popular type of willow is especially remarkable for its unusual foliage. The leaves are flamingo red on budding, later gray-green and very densely covered with white, occasionally pink spots and spots.
Salix matsudana, Tortuosa, corkscrew pasture
This species is also characterized by its conspicuous, strongly corkscrew turned foliage.
Salix x sepulcralis, Erythroflexuosa ', curly willow
The branches and twigs of this small, broad-crowned tree hang over in wide, loose arches. They are golden yellow to orange in color and partly turned corkscrew.
If space is limited, dwarf pastures can be planted, which are only about one meter high and up to one and a half meters wide. Salix hastata, 'Wehrhanii', Salix lanata ('Wool-willow') or Salix helvetica ('Swiss willow') are particularly suitable.
Alders are ideal for waterlogging
The native black alder is often found on the banks of standing and flowing waters. For the garden are next to this type, especially the following well suited:
Tips
Other native deciduous trees often need a lot of water (especially the leafy species such as linden, chestnut, etc.), but tolerate no waterlogging.
