Ugh, this is terrible! It will kill me to leave those things knowing their capabilities. I'm unable to drain the pond, to the best of my knowledge. I really hate that the pond was so neglected and allowed this to happen. This makes me pretty nervous about spending so much money on stocking it when a catastrophe could happen because of those stupid trees. They seem to all be at the waters edge, and the roots SHOULD be going to the water, right? I don't like the thought of another bad drought but when the time comes, I guess I'll deal with it then when the level is down.
