Re: Annoying Maytens question

---

I was also expecting to read a question about what to do with rampant growth of new trees from the roots, which in my mind is the more annoying feature of using a Mayten tree in the landscape.  So much so, that I only use Maytens if they are surrounded by paving or in a lawn anymore.  They do drop a lot of small litter over the entire year, but because it is so small, I can't imagine that it would be a problem getting hung up on Impatiens.  As they drop leaves all year long in any case, there will still be a litter problem for this fellow.  I know you can't exactly give this guy the advice he really should get, such as "Get a life, and don't sweat the small stuff", but hosing off the plants regularly, or using an electric leaf blower ought to readily solve his problem, or remove the tree.
