How much longer are the Live Oaks going to be dropping leaves, tassels,
acorns, etc.! They are wreaking havoc with my swimming pool--it looks

like

a swamp! I don't know if I will ever be able to get the stains out.

Seems

to be worse this year than in the past. And those little green worms are
driving me crazy! The Live Oak is magnificent, but the problems with it

are

a nightmare.

I can't help but wonder -
Which was there first? The live Oak or the pool?


I've got the same issue as Scarlett except it's with my hot tub. When we
installed it 15 years ago the live oak was not overhanging that area.
I've done some selective pruning but don't want to butcher the tree.
Nowadays the spring debris season makes it impossible to sit under it.
An additional year-round bonus is the dove droppings.........I'm
probably going to go for a 10 x 10 portable canopy next year.
