Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Creating habitat Two structure questions

I have a question along the lines of the ceder trees, I just fresh cut 4 of them about 12 feet long each and wondered if ther eis a preferred way to lay them in the water, but end upslope? downslope, at 90 degree from shallow to deeper water?? If I leave the butt at surface, they will go from 1-5 ft of water which is what I want, correct? I plan on putting them , 2 on each side of the pond and that way there will be about 75 feet apart ( 3/4 acre pond)
Thoughts, I also am curious about sinkage and floating. Ill try to sink them and let you know if they float or sink, I assume putting them in, green leaves and all is ok

Thanks
