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.
Yea for you samhass. Maybe people who do not like messy trees and plants should build their home in a Walmart parking lot where things are nice and neat.
