We have mulberry. I can take them or leave them. Always wanted to have silkworms to feed on the mulberry trees. How about silkworms falling into the pond. Now that's koi keeping.

If you're far enough south, you could consider tropical almond (called False Kamani here). The leaves are said to emit anti-microbial and therapeutic compounds when soaked in water. Some of the tropical fish people swear by them and buy the leaves. That being the case, I am over-protected because the damn leaves are everythere in the winter.

The classis koi pond trees are probably the fancy Japanese mapels. Leaves on the water and all that stuff.
