    Climbing plant on pergola ??

    Good morning everyone
    I've got a large raised pond with a pergola above it that I want to plant a Wisteria along side of it so it grows over the top.
    Are there any pro's or con's for having plants above a pond ?? that anyone is aware of, I know there will be debris coming off it, but is it harmful to my fish ??
    Any advice much appreciated
    Thanks everyone
    Ian

    Morning Ian!

    Personally, I would plant a wisteria to go over the pergola as although I don't think they're harmful for the fish, the amount of mess it'd make when dropping blossom and then leaves would be quite substantial when it becomes more mature.

    I have a wisteria on the front of my house, and I love it, but wouldn't have it anywhere near my pond! Just my opinion
    1630 Gallon raised pond
    4" 'Avenue' bottom drain
    Estro sieve
    Econobead EB60 bead filter
    Sequence 18000 pump, 6000 pump on skimmer line
    Elecro 2kW in-line heater
    Evolution Aqua 70 air pump
    Standard wall skimmer
    Hozelock Vorton 55watt UV
    and some nice koi
