I am new here, so apologies if I'm in the wrong place for this.

I live on the Northern Gulf Coast, near the water. I have a lot next to my house that I want to plant with various ornamental trees/bushes, and maybe some fruit trees. The water table is very low (I can hit water maybe 2' down) and the lot floods periodically in tropical storms. I don't want anything that grows taller than maybe 20 feet, due to hurricanes. RIght now the lot has a large cypress, a live oak, a few figs and a few satsuma trees.

What else would you sugggest? My wife and I have talked about a "grove" of some sort, if that makes sense. I'd love some ornamental trees or shrubs, and color at various times of the year. I feel like water is my biggest issue.
