Are there any trees in the Netherlands that are suitable for surviving in wet places (poor water management)

Answer

Dear Ino Meijer,

There are certainly trees that are suitable for surviving in wet places – trees that like to stand with their feet in the wet every now and then. I am thinking in the first place of many willow species, poplar and alder. Just look at meadows: you will often see that, certainly in the past, farmers planted willows along canal sides, pools or the lowest, wet points of a meadow: they grow well and quickly, and absorb a lot of water.

Best regards
