I've found this site VERY helpful in identifying plants, even tho it's from South of the Mason-Dixon line. laugh TAMU

From the pics it looks like Water Primrose. Look here.

Look here for control options.

Yeah that's water primrose or Ludwigia (especially if it has pretty yellow flowers). Reproduces from seeds and fragments and is a knotted mess if left alone.

I'm here in San Marcos with the Lake Mower company if you're interested in a mechanical option.


If at first you don't succeed...look in the trash for the directions.

The correct chemical for yellow water primrose is a Glyphosate (like Roundup) that is pond friendly. The best surfactant is Cide Kick but I recently used Spreader Sticker with good results. Diquat also will clobber it. You can get the chemicals from tractor Supply Company but I had to look elsewhere for a surfactant.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
