I have a small pond that lost a lot of natural cover due to the drought. I am planning to add structure like pallets and trees. Are the pallets mainly for baitfish? I know of PVC trees but would cutting down trees to make a brush pile work?

For some homework read through the information in this thread about structure and placement in the pond. There is a lot to see and read. It should answer most of your questions. New questions just come back and ask. We will be glad to provide some opinions. http://forums.pondboss.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=92463#Post92463

Tons of info there, thank you! One question, will willow trees grow in the water? 2-3 feet or do they have to be out of the water some?
