Need to know if there are any trees that can be planted in close
proximity (6ft. to 12ft.) to my pond that will not drop anything
(leaves, fruit, etc.) that will wipe out my fish (golds, comets,
shabumkins). Would prefer trees that will reach approx. 20ft with
decent foliage to mask view of small industrial units beyond bottom of
the garden.
======================
All trees drop leaves as they age, even tropical trees. None of the
flowering fruit trees are toxic and are in the 20' range. All kinds of
leaves blow into ponds. You have to net them out or they're rot and foul
the water. Wouldn't a hedgerow block the view better than a tree?
