Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Willow Trees

Thanks for the info. I need to find some. While I like the way that the willow looks on the island, I believe it's worn out it's welcome by trying to grow little willows on the Western shore of the pond. It seems every day I can go out there and pull 10 to 20 willow trees that are 12"-24" tall. Lots of seeds must have been spread this Spring, as that shore is 100' to 150' from the tree.

Can I drill holes in the tree at a downward angle, and fill up the holes with Imazapyr to kill the tree? It'll be a big mess to cut it down and get it out of the water - a lot easier if I do it in winter when the pond is frozen.

Now I just gotta try and figure out what to put on the island in it's place.
