I plan on picking up at least 10 to 20 Christmas trees this weekend. Surely, I am not the only pond guy doing this. smile Adding cover for my CNBG and Fatheads.


TGW1,
I picked up 5 and carried them out to the farm. With the structure that I already have...that should be plenty (3/4 acre pond ~12' tapering to 8', then to 3'. I even considered cutting them in half for use in shallower water...not sure what I will do. I'll ask the PB folks for suggestions.

Hey Charlie,

I was thinking about cutting some in half as well, but I read in one of the threads just to lay them down in shallower water.

Bill,
these trees are easily 5' in diameter...not sure how shallow I could place them without cutting them down or back.

...when in doubt...set the hook...
