My cage is mesh so very little tree debris gets in the pool.
They say of the live oaks " A hundred years to grow, a hundred years to live, and a hundred years to die." Like me, this tree is a senior.
So what you are saying is all the mess blows over on your neighbor's property. ;~) jk If you ever decide you have time to take on another project, I'll give you the address of my two oaks. Or I could just ship some squirrels over to keep your eagle and hawks company.
