pomolo Forum legend Posts: 1099 Location: Registered: September 2007	RE: Gum Tree leaves droppings Posted 765 days ago Leaves falling from trees is natural and there isn't anything you can do to slow it down or stop it. Some gums are even summer deciduous. Maybe yours are this type.	0 0 Alert moderator

The smarty- pants answer is to give each tree 500l of water every day, forever. But I won't do that. It's only their way of minimising water loss via the leaves. Until the rains come. (Back ? ) On the plus side, though, you've got all that leaf-mulch. We back on to a reserve, so I do see your point. _________ Experience is what you get when you dont read the instructions first.I'm a LEO.I am experienced!	0 0 Alert moderator
