Roots

http://www.gardeningcentral.org/corkscrew_willow_tree/corkscrew_willow_tree.html Could be a Corks screw willow tree. It grows rapidly and " like all willow trees, the roots are very shallow and actually push upward as the tree ages. They can crack walkways, driveways, even foundations, and get tangled in water and sewer lines."

Thank you for the lead Viv.Will follow up on it.

jprat001,I uploaded a picture of the tree with leaves . This tree has a lot of brown spirals on it. Also it is common around the periphery of the lake. Maybe it was planted with a purpose. Possibly supports some kind of wild life.

Next time i visit , i will definitely photograph the tree.

Thanks iprat001. This looks more like roots than a water plant. Any feedback?

cool Antonio!!

next time i visit hat pond i will get a picture of that tree. You can see its trunk. It is a young tree judging by the width of the slender trunk.

Is this a water plant or did the young tree let it's roots out in the water?
