ewest, two 6' Xmas trees seems pretty light to me for 1/4 acre, don't you think?
I was trying to envision that; 1/4 surface acre should be a little over 10,000 square feet. If a single 6' tall Xmas tree had a diameter of 6' also, then it's diametrical area is less than 36 square feet in relation to the 10,000 square feet of the pond. Times two trees is 72 square feet. Less than 1% (when only considering the horizontal relation).
That doesn't seem like much to me although I know the calcs can be done differently adding the other plane in.
