Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Balance of plants in the environment what are good aquatic plants for 1 acre pond

Hi I live in north Texas and was wanting to know what are good aquatic plants for a 1 acre pond that won't take over the pond.

And where to get them

Thank you

American Pond Weed. You might be able to find someone around you that has some and transfer it.

How about Pickerel weed, I got some in a nearby lake and put them in the pond 2 years ago, grows well in shallow water.

I realy like those do you think they grow in texas

Texas fish, the wildflower website of the university of Texas has it listed on their website. It seems like it will grow just about anywhere there's water.

that islannd of yours is pretty cool

bald cypress, iris, cardinal flower, soft maple, compass plant, sedges, black gum, button flower, smart weed, joe pye weed, probly lots more

Who you calling a Bald Cypress, I hardly even know you and you're already.... oh wait are you talking about plants?

I have some sagittaria lancifolia growing in my minnow pond, and it seems innocent enough. They produce tubers that make good food for wild ducks. Don't know about the other sagittaria.

JHaP, i missed this, I aint talking much. what kinda coffee you drinking this am?

i am laughing, ya'll probly cant bring them cypresses into calyforny. but for a tax appointment i would consider bringing you a canoefull

who do ya spose has more hair on their head, you or me?

At last count I had 372 hairs on my head, however I am able to comb them in such a way that it appears as though I have at least 456 or 457.

it depends on how i count em but i dont do that comb stuff

Actually I don't do the comb over thing either Cliff, waste of valuable fishing time.

As gallagher once asked "You don't prune a dead tree do you?".
