ya I don't know what you would do in a scenario like that. You almost could take a large backhoe and dig a trench thro the lowest part of the lake to drain it. Then cut all the wood and brush out Then back fill the trench and fill the lake back up with water. It would be a big job but it might be worth it. I don't see what would prevent the tree from just growing back though.wish they would, but hard to get out to them without sinking into the muck and mud
