What kind of Trees

Hi
I have a large garden and bogy at the bottom I would like to put 2 trees if I can any suggestions .

 

Swamp Cypress?
I think Silver Birch may well take a wetter area too

 

Any kind of conifir

 

I agree with the Swamp Cypress, ( Taxodium distichum ). Disagree with EVERY conifer being suitable.:D

 

How big is your garden and how big do you want your trees ?

Could be some scope for artistic 'living willow' or just a specimen willlow:thumb:

 

Alder or willow if the garden is big enough.

I've also seen horse chestnut growing next to a lake and the roots grow directly into the water.
Plane does the same.

 

Distorted willow is a good choice. These grow anywhere and are very easy to propogate too. Only problem, they tend to grow at a fast rate and can get quite over bearing. Good for fast growth if you want privacy and to help your garden look mature.

 

I think Metasequoia glyptostroboides will be a very good choice. It's a beautiful tree and grows best on boggy terrain .
