One of the most\nimportant aspects of tree compatibility is water. Not only do you want to\nensure your trees are properly watered, you want to make sure they are not\nover-water, nor subjected to water conditions they cannot withstand. This includes\nflooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a lot that tends to flood easily, it is wise to\nopt for flood resistant tree species. Such species will better tolerate\nstanding water and floodwaters, without drowning or becoming sodden, and therefore,\nsurvive for years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Continue reading to learn some recommendations for flood\nresistant trees that are compatible with Indiana\u2019s hardiness zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"499\" src=\"https:\/\/www.timberlandtreecareindy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Tree-Removal-Services-Indianapolis-Indiana-e1578775670796.jpg\" alt=\"Indianapolis Tree Removal Services\" class=\"wp-image-146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.timberlandtreecareindy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Tree-Removal-Services-Indianapolis-Indiana-e1578775670796.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.timberlandtreecareindy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Tree-Removal-Services-Indianapolis-Indiana-e1578775670796-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.timberlandtreecareindy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Tree-Removal-Services-Indianapolis-Indiana-e1578775670796-768x426.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>Indianapolis Tree Removal Services 317-348-0811<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Reminder About Hardiness Zones<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Here in Indiana, our hardiness zones are 5b, 6a, and 6b.\nSince out state falls within more than one zone, so be sure you know exactly\nwhere you live. If you choose a tree that is not well-suited for your hardiness\nzone, you can expect it to have problems with growth and sustainability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water Tolerance in Trees<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>A water tolerant, or <em>flood-resistant<\/em>, tree will be\nable to withstand, and ultimately, survive, the conditions it is exposed to standing\nwater over a period of time. Examples of such trees that are compatible with Indiana\nhardiness zones include River Birch, Weeping Willow, Bald Cypress, and believe it\nor not, Red Maple. Additional water tolerant tree species to consider include\nHackberry, Black Tupelo, American Sweetgum, and Overcup Oak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended Species for Indiana<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2766 <strong>River Birch (<em>Betula nigra<\/em>) \u2013<\/strong> Appositely named, this tree is found growing naturally along the banks of rivers. Not only is it water-tolerant, it is also resistant to birch borers, and grows quite rapidly during peak season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2766 <strong>Weeping Willow (<em>Salix babylonica<\/em>) \u2013<\/strong> As one of the most common water-tolerant tree species, they are often planted along the banks of ponds, lakes and rivers. They take root fast, change color, and reach exquisite heights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2766 <strong>Bald Cypress (<em>Taxodium distichum<\/em>) \u2013<\/strong> A classic swamp staple, this tree can easily survive standing or floodwaters. Although a water-tolerant species, it also does quite well in yards and landscaping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2766 <strong>Red Maple (<em>Acer rubrum<\/em>) \u2013<\/strong> Unexpectedly, but quite astonishingly, these trees can withstand floodwaters well. Best of all, they can grow in both dry and wet soil conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need a Dead or Fallen Tree Removed?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>With a lot of rain comes standing water, which in turn can\ndamage vulnerable or weakened trees. If floodwaters have caused a tree to drown\nor topple over on your property, contact a licensed tree removal professional\nas soon as possible. They can also provide further assessment to ensure no\nother trees are at risk of falling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Indianapolis Tree Removal You Can Trust<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call Timberland Tree Care at 317-348-0811<\/strong> to schedule your needed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timberlandtreecareindy.com\/services\/tree-removal.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Indianapolis tree removal services (opens in a new tab)\">Indianapolis tree removal services<\/a> for your residential or commercial property.
