puked:

My concrete pond has developed cracks from a tree that has been
eradicated about 8 months ago. I want to seal the cracks, but the
whole task seems overwhelming.

Check out the mess:

In the second photo you can see the biggest crack that has been
cleaned and cleared of root material (by my dog's head). The water
level sinks to this crack.

The third shot is a closeup of the crack to well above the waterline
(where the big hole is)

4th is a closeup shot of some small cracks that have developed above
the huge crack. you can see the small roots growing through like
thick hairs.

Fifth through last is the attached waterfall where stucco has spalled
off of the forming foam.

First, is there a sealing material that could fix the major crack?

How should I handle the small cracks with organic growth?

I assume the whole waterfall should be fixed prior to trying to
re-establish the pond. How would you recommend fixing the spalling
stucco, and what is it sealed with once it is fixed?

TIA

Quick update:

I sealed the holes with the vinyl patch and finally filled it up
yesterday. This morning it didn't drop at all! Success! Thank you
all for your help.
