Is it better to remove leaves from under fruit trees or leave them
to decay and serve as mulch? Trees in question are avocado, fig,
orange, plum, peach, and apricot.

hi,

personally i think leaves harbour nasties over winter. I usually gather them, burn them and work the ash into the soil under the tree. woodash is best but leaves do just as well.

hope this helps
