SPECIES SUITABLE FOR PLANTING ON DAM WALLS

(Small shrubs, grasses, vines and groundcovers)

Trees are best avoided for dam wall planting for several reasons. Invasive roots may cause problems to the dam structure which may not be evident until the tree is stressed or dies. The root-balls of fallen trees can also compromise the structure of the dam and may cause erosion or leakage.
