Did you know that trees love water?

They don’t just physically require a lot of it to survive, but just as plants, they enjoy receiving water.

A tree cannot talk, but it sure is alive and, with that being said; it knows what it likes.

While trees generally require a lot of water to sustain themselves, some trees are extremely greedy and tend to use more water than they need. If you have one of the following trees in your garden, then you know what we’re talking about, as some trees take water out of the ground, which leaves the plant/tree-species surrounding these trees dead or rather ill-looking.

#1 The river birch tree

Although the river birch tree is a beautiful and peaceful-looking tree, it requires a lot of water. It is adaptable and thrives the most beside creeks or moist lowlands. The tree requires quite a lot of space to grow and may take over an entire patch of landscape, so be careful where you plant it. One is not recommended to plant it close to a house, lawn or septic tank.

#2 The willow oak tree

Known as a beautiful shade tree, which extends from a family of oak trees, this willow oak is the perfect choice for urban areas, as it can grow quite fast.

It requires a lot of water and can grow up to 2-feet big. It even produces acorns and serves as a favourite for different animals.

#3 The swamp white oak tree

As a tree species that can live over three centuries, it grows around 60-feet tall and as you guessed it, requires a lot of water. Much like the river birch tree, it grows best alongside creeks and lowlands and is not affected by weather conditions easily. It also has a great drought tolerance, even though it does require a lot of water to thrive.

#4 The Weeping willow tree

As the most beautiful tree on the list, the weeping willow tree deserves a lot of water. When planted alongside water, it will grow the best. However, be sure not to plant this massive species close to a septic tank or any field lines, as it will drain the water resources that surrounds it.
