Sago Pondweed
Sago pondweed is found in fresh to moderately brackish water. It is usually slow moving or standing waters and is generally not very competitive when there are other plants in the pond. Heavy concentrations of sago pondweed can interfere with boat traffic and hinder fishing. Most of the Potamogetons produce fruits, tubers and roots, which are good sources of food for waterfowl. Sago pondweed is an excellent example. In some areas this plant is intentionally planted for waterfowl habitat enhancement.
