Al, you and Scott have seen my place that is butt deep in oaks. I’ve owned it for 40 or so years and the only oak mortality I’ve ever seen was from lightning and dozers. If I cut one for firewood, the stumps still keep sending out shoots. I consider them immortal.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
