Hi,
Here is a question concerning planting trees and grasses in Delaware.
Does anyone have any advice for the person? Thanks, Janet

 "I am planning a phytoremediation study (cleaning up chemicals with
plants), and I am looking for a way to control water inflow into the
ground with plants. Therefore, I am looking for either a
fast-transpiring evergreen bush or tree, or an understory cold-weather
grass or cover material that can be planted underneath deciduous trees
to evapotranspire during much of the leaf-off periods. (I am planning
to try hybrid poplars as the overstory tree.) Do you have any ideas?

you have any guidance on how to estimate total evapotranspiration for
various cover types?"
