Tums, I appreciate what you are doing science wise to further our collective experience on the forum. I personally find this transport of mature willows in deep water ground breaking and extremely valuable information for us all. If for any reason a guy was concerned with seeds spreading he could trim the tops of the trees a bit every year to cut down on seeds dispersing. I wish you could provide underwater shots of the myriad of fish that probably love living in the willows....this is great work, thinking outside the box, and thanks for sharing. Keep us in the loop!
