There's a swampy area behind my house that isn't used for anything, I have red twig dogwood cuttings ready to be potted on could I put them in there or would it be too boggy for them
I would build a large mound of soil a couple of foot above the flood plain to keep the roots out of the water. If the tree sits in water it won't make it period.
If it were mine, I certainly would consider adding bald cypress to that area. I have several and they are beautiful, majestic trees. They love wet conditions. It would also be compatible with the dogwood.
