Cecil, thank you for your response. I should have also added that the pond is at least 25 yrs old as the pine trees on the dam indicate. My dam is the model of what not to do. The trees are beautiful but, I suspect a leak is in my future.
In that case I would suspect if there is something retarding your aquatic plant growth it's your bottom strata or soil composition.
I wouldn't worry about the trees until they die and the roots decompose leaving a void.
