From what I've read it's safest not to have any trees on a dam, but I do see a lot of dams in my area with large trees on them. I'm sure there's an element of risk, like with most things, but I still don't have a good idea of what degree of risk there is in this case. What's the worst case scenario? I would guess that it's having to drain your pond in the future for a repair, at least partially.
This topic always makes me curious about how often dams fail because of trees. Has anyone on this forum ever had it happen to them, or know of someone who had it happen?
