9. TREE PROPAGATION METHOD

9.9 Tree planting in waterlogged areas

In waterlogged areas, such as marshy low-lying areas of a farm, only those trees that are known to tolerate such conditions should be planted. Among such species are Sesbania sesban, Syzygium guineense, and Eucalyptus camaldulensis, E. globulus and E. microtheca. Natural vegetation growth in wet areas is likely to be lush, so the tree grower must be prepared to cut back competing vegetation periodically.
