When spatterdock becomes well established it develops long roots 3"-4" in diameter and I've seen them clear up the pond and grow into 10ft -12ft of water after around 12-15 yrs. The owner said he had scuba divers remove Spatterdock in the deeper depths basically to almost the middle of his pond. Given more time they would have likely covered his entire 0.75 ac pond.
