Yes and they are dirty. The original owner must have been in love with them as my lot had 16 but now down to 11. Those removed were planted too close to the house/bird cage. Had to replace numerous screens because because the falling branches poked holes in them. The branches were also scraping the roof of the house which can cause damage to the shingles.
I think they are very dirty trees. Anytime the wind blows, I'm out in the yard picking up debris afterwards.
Beware of the sylvesters. They have A LOT of nasty thorns that can be painful if they poke you. Don't even have to break the skin. LOL, just 5 minutes ago the garbage guys just picked up 4 bundles I had out. I had cut them in > 4' lengths and rapped with twine. The guys were swearing when they saw them and one must have gotten poked because I heard a loud 'F@@K'. He's gonna have a sore hand or forearm for a couple of days.......
