First of all I'm in Virginia. Florida may be different, of course. My next door neighbor has one that was planted in 2001. It is HUGE!. Over the spring it sprays sap & drops these small brown things that break apart when you touch or sweep them. Fall, of course the leaves are everywhere. Throughout the winter, especially on windy days twigs fall everywhere. All winter and into the spring we were constantly picking up twigs. It's a beautiful tree, but all year round it is dropping something and making a mess.
