The best trees for wet sites in Vermont are weeping willow and river birch. Most maples and sycamores do well with wet soil, but standing water is likely a no-no especially for young trees. However, larger trees will do better than very small trees. Most willow trees enjoy consistently moist, even wet, soil.
The best time to plant trees in Vermont is in spring or early to mid fall. Both offer ideal temperatures for planting. Fall offers more ground moisture, but beware of planting too close to winter especially in the colder regions of the state. You want to give your tree at least 6 to 8 weeks to begin to establish before severe winter temperatures hit.
Most Vermont trees should be pruned in late winter or early spring. Deciduous trees are dormant at this time and evergreens have slowed down their metabolic processes.
