I was wondering whether to plant a small willow fairly close to a pond.
It's Salix petiolaris which is a small shrubby tree which apparently
only grows to 12' or so.

I wonder though whether there's a danger that the roots could find their
way through a a butyl liner. I know they can do that very easily to
drainage pipes.

We have had a living willow fence about 4 or 5 feet away from the edge of a
pond for the last three years. So far, so good!
