That spot is right up against the river and does get marshy. Bugs are insane this year so getting down there can be brutal. It’s an awesome spot for cover and I believe the roots have tapped into the river bed for a constant feed. I need to get down again and put some supports in.
Ya even down south here it’s tuff to figure out how the season will end. I think this year will be colder faster than the last few. We are already almost at single digits some nights
