Planting Tree in wet area

Recommended Posts

all the trees mentioned here will do well. How tall do you want this thing getting? For a smaller tree/shrub, you could plant something like a Pagoda Dogwood, which will get 10-15 feet tall and have very attractive flowers

Ive been interested in the Tamerack. I see them in marshes on the way up to Leach lake. The are an evergreen that turns gold in the fall. I believe they loose there needles in the winter.

I dont think they would do to well in my yard being the soil is rather sandy and dry. But you have a wet area I think the Tamerack will do well.

Not sure on the tolerance to wet soils, but my parents have a river birch and that thing is huge after only 4 or 5 years.

Not sure if you have a residential setting or woodsy. For woodsy look into a couple of black spruce for winter color. Slow growing but they tolerate the wet soils well.

Don't the river birch have some sort of worm or something. Seems like I've seen a lot of them in yards that die after about 10-15 years, just when they seem to be getting nice.

Go to a reputable nursery in your area and ask them, and then make sure they give you a one year warranty on the tree. Then plant it correctly following the directions of said nursery to a T. Sometimes there's a problem with trees that come from sources that are more than 50-100 miles from where you are so be sure to buy something that was grown locally at a nursery near your house.

The silver maples do very well in wet areas and grow extremely fast. The problem with willows and silver maples is that they are very prone to storm damage from having such soft wood. Trees with harder wood will be a bit more slow growing. If you want a tree for this area that will hold up in a bad storm go with the Swamp White Oak. Only in the worst storms do Oaks suffer damage.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
