Which trees do you find work best in ground that stays wet all winter, especially near your ponds? Do Acer Rubrums work well? I planted a Bald Cypress which should do great and various Willows, put would like to know about others.

Acer Rubrums will work but they seem to be overplanted these days and I got tired of pulling all the little Red Maples that cropped up everywhere. The Bald Cypress is an excellent choice.

Strike that River Birch. I don't think it will do all that well in zone 8. Sorry about that. Didn't see your zone of 8a when I first posted.
