When I built my pond in 2011, it had some existing mature willow trees in the draw that I flooded. They had about 4 feet of water on them, but most of the tree remained above the water line. The first two years they seemed fine. Last fall I noticed that a couple had died. Now this spring they are nearly all dead. I enjoyed the cover that they provided for the fish, but I won't miss all the seeds floating in the pond. Tums, I hope you have better luck with yours.
