Boondoogle Thanks for the reply!

I had already planned on using this technique. I had planted a $50. Cypress 2" trunk & a Nutria chopped it down, then came back as it started to recover & trimmed it again. I have tried to trap him & dispose of him, but no luck so far. Your idea is on the to do list to save the tree. 97 degree days make me LAZY.

I am thinking more about the wild weeds, coontail , naiad, fanwort, bladderwort. A place for fingerlings & small fish to hide. Plants a grass carp will control if it gets out of control.
