Letting the pods grow will not harm the tree. No one trims the pods from the trees that grow in the wild and they do just fine. There must be food sources if you want to keep wild life in the area.

When I bought my first home, I would spray chemicals on the lawn to kill the army worms that eat grass roots and kill the grass. I did not like having poison on the grass around the house so I reduced the frequency of treatment until I did not spray at all. By not using the chemicals, the birds started hanging out in my yard and kept the army worms and other pest under control. Let nature work its magic.
