| Is Vallisneria americana (Ell Grass) an ever green plant in the pond? |
Follow-Up Postings:

| Chefcarl, check the link below for information about Vallisneria americana. "Horton" |
Here is a link that might be useful: Vallisneria americana

| Horton, Thank you for the site, that is one of the many that I checked before post my question here and found it to be of little use. Maybe I am not using the site correctly, I can not see where it tells if a plant is ever green in my zone. |
|
| CC, Vallisneria americana stays green in aquariums all year round at 70°F or there about. You don't have your Climate Zone or area in the USA listed., but the plant grows all over North America. I'm sure in the winter in the colder/cooler regons it will die back and return in the warm weather. "Horton". |

| CC, that should have read "grows just about all over North America in the wild". "H" |
|
| Horton, I am in USDA 9, Sunset 14. One of the things that I do not want is to add a large dying bio-mass to the pond at the end of the year. At this time I have about 15,000 gallons between 3 ponds and I am looking at putting in some more. |

| Does somebody need an answer to a question about American Eelgrass? |
|
| CC, most plants will die back or go into a rest period but whether you would end up with a "large dying bio-mass" I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable about the plant in question to say. Maybe an idea to contact the USDA for that information. It would be interesting to read their answer. "Horton" |
