I tied a cinder block to the top of a Christmas tree and another one at the trunk and put it in my pond. I wasn't able to tie the blocks super close to the tree so I have about 3 feet of rope between the tree and the blocks. The problem is since the tree is still buoyant it wants to float. It is suspended up off the bottom. The side of the tree is only about a foot under the surface of the water.

How long will it take it to sink to the bottom?

Thanks!

About a week for the tree to sink, water logged takes a longer process then you think. Give the tree a good year in water and it will be fully water logged.

Ok I guess I was wondering how long it will take to sink not waterlogged.

Anyone else have a guess on how long it will take it to sink? Thanks!

I find out the hard way xmas trees are like cork they float very easily LOL. They are best tied down as fish structure.. Great places for shad to hide due to the tight branches. Not sure how long it would take but I would say several months atleast.

We suspend cedars often, given they're less prone to infiltration, though, it might now be an accurate comparison. The cedars we will suspend will take betwen five and seven years to settle to the bottom. Pines, weve found, are usually more along the lines of two years before they fully settle.

Very slick idea on suspending cedars I bet that takes a few cinder blocks LOL. I've done the opposite hang them from wave barriers. Works well.
