Cypress. Planted a 4-5 ft tall tree in 2012 and it’s 25 plus feet. Pruned the lower branches for the first 5 years and used fert spikes the first three years. It’s gorgeous and really sucks up the water in the area. Added day lilies and agapanthus around it and the area looks great.

How do you find this out?
Long story but not determined by any scientific method.
Next door neighbor had been there for about 30 years. Said they had a bubbling up spring in low lying area I was worried about. About 25 years ago that happened but it dried out when droughts hit and rain slacked off. Well, we got about 6 months of constant rain in Georgia and my house is on lower land with a creek running through property. I had water pooling up under my house coming in through cracks seeping into garage. Had to run a sump pump for about 4 months until the rain finally subsided.
Had county come out to test for leaks in street. The patched a couple leaks but wasn't mine. They ran a test on my meter and by process of elimination i was able to finally agree with what neighbor said. I've sealed my garage floor/cracks and i am now in the process of replacing the shitty drainage pipes the original owners had in place which were clogged.
