House accross the street in So. Calif coast HAD a big liquidambar tree
that was gorgeous in the Fall. Cars stopped to pick up leaves that
had fallen asking for the name. Tree went at first suggestion of
drain problem by new owner.


As did the house across the street from me in the SF Bay Area. Now, the
big bits are stacked in my woodpile, waiting on an opportunity to try a
little low budget green woodturning...

It took 1.5 of the large recycling rolling bins to clean up all of what
Larry called pawpaws. Those things make using the mulching leaf vaccum
exciting. But if you step on one of them on the sidewalk, turning an ankle
is a definite possibility.

We'll see how it turns. Like I said, the investment is pretty low.
