| I posted this on the exchange forum before I saw this one.
My daughter has a large natural pond on her property that gets overgrown with this plant every year. It's about the shape of a 'dollarweed' but maybe 4"-5" big. It is trying to take over the pond, starting at the edges. What can they kill the plants with that won't hurt the fish & turtles. Ducks also on the pond pretty often.

| If you own a pond which is vulnerable to invasive plants, shallow profile, fertile water, invasive plants will be a bane up to the day when the pond silts up and is no more. It's what many aquatic plants do to survive, they colonize the niche and spread to others It could be time to dredge it to a more stable profile if the water supply is good enough to keep a permanant body of water going all year round |

| Is that weed tall and the leaves kinda fuzzy? It might be American lotus. |
