Thank you for reaching out to ask2.extension.
Some of Minnesota’s most flood-tolerant trees include:
American elm, Black ash, Green ash, Eastern cottonwood, Silver maple, Willow, Swamp white oak, River birch, Hackberry.
You should read up on the type of tree you’d like to try to see just how fast they grow. You can google them for descriptions.
