Woodlands remove excess nutrients, pollutants, and soil from rainwater runoff and snow melt. Trees also reduce flooding by absorbing water directly; by improving soil structure, which increases the amount of water they soak up; and by simply slowing the movement of flood waters. Riparian forests also shade rivers and streams, which keeps water temperatures cool for aquatic plants and animals. Large trees grow taller than 20'.
This local favorite produces edible fruit, fragrant flowers and good shade.
