Hewitt's Garden Centers > Questions > We have an area in our yard that is always wet. Should we plant a weeping Willow or birch tree to suck up the water?
A Weeping Willow would be the best choice. A mature Weeping Willow will pull up to 400 gallons PER HOUR of moisture from the soil. Just make sure there are no water pipes or septic lines in the area…a willow tree will destroy them.
