They are older Cypress on the lake side. Probably about 14 or so inches in circumference. There's more on the back side...assorted...mainly the same size and smaller.
I'm not sure about how much water, but you can see it pooled up on the back side gulley. But again, it's spring-fed so there's constantly water moving (spillways).
I'm waiting to get the report tomorrow. I'll be sure to post it here.
I've heard the same about trees, but assume that's kind of the easy way out, and that if you remove the trees, and the root system and re-pack, it's the best (and most expensive) course of action.
