It was sad to cut the weeping willows down, but they were on the tank dam. 10 to 20 of them from pencil to 2 inch. It needed to be done, butvsad to see the trees go. I am sure it will be a battle with them as they are just above the water line.
I did take a few pencil size and stuck them in a hole at an acceptable location away from any dams. I’d say about 200 feet away up the hill.
