We are in Austin Texas zone 9a which experiences freezes in the winter. We want to use this area to plant citrus or banana trees since it is the warmest area on our property (faces south, protected from wind, heat reflects off the house) however we also have a drain that drowns this area during rain. My concern is that planting trees here will keep water too close to the foundation, or that the roots will be a problem. Is this a safe place to plant those trees or is it too close to the house? Welcoming advice on what to do with this space.
