Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Willow Trees

IMHO you should do everything you can to eradicate willows...ESPECIALLY on the levee.

Black willows are fast growing, very intrusive, water drinking, messy menaces.

I spent 4 hours on Sunday with a set of pruners, a hand saw and a chain saw removing willows from the large pond, and yesterday I had an excavator come in and rip out all the big ones from below the dam.

I'm a huge tree lover...but for those trees I go out of my way to kill them.
