While it looks nice, I'm trying to determine if the weeping willow on the island will cause problems for me down the road. It has a trunk dia of approz. 10" this year. My pond is a water table pond, and in the last month it's dropped 18".


Scott, if your ponds level is dictated by the water table, the tree's water usage won't matter. Also, if the "wet" area is due to the water table, the tree won't help either.
