Trees in a treeless area #437619

Asked January 08, 2018, 2:59 AM EST

Hello, A western Alasks village does not have trees. However thereby is an unattractive sewage lagoon right in town. Are there any trees we could plant around the lagoon to improve esthetics?

Bethel County Alaska

Expert Response

Without knowing more about the specifics, it's hard to say for sure.  As a general rule, if there are no native trees in the area it is probably an area where trees won't grow.  I'd caution against bringing in a non-native species of tree.
