Why I Don't Rake Leaves Until Spring

[Len B]

My sulcatas eat the fallen leaves during winter. Here's Walker and Donald enjoying some today. Most of the leaves are maple with mulberry, redbud, grape, ginkgo and ROS mixed in.This is the first time I've seen anyone eating any this year, we haven't had any rain for several weeks and what had fallen were dry, they prefer them wet and Ian's rain wetted them. A free winter food source.

I have three fruitless mulberry. I strip them of their leaves to dry for winter. Not much taking here either.
