Indeed in the tropics some trees have evolved to be deciduous because of the dry season.

It had a form of die-back on one side this spring which has not been successfully explained, this, along with a severe pruning, has produced a veritable mat of debris.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571100417242238211.post-60372979178818285542015-02-13T14:21:08.263+00:002015-02-13T14:21:08.263+00:00Yes it's annoying Janneke when you get repeate...Yes it's annoying Janneke when you get repeated leaf fall. I have not noticed that as much of a problem on my hollies - probably because my border surfaces are rather scruffy anyway and away from the house.<br />Now beech hedges - they can go on forever losing overwintered leaves!Roger Brook - No Dig Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210160273591839142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571100417242238211.post-51083489074399398152015-02-13T14:15:31.632+00:002015-02-13T14:15:31.632+00:00yepyepRoger Brook - No Dig Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210160273591839142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571100417242238211.post-30036688451330362212015-02-13T14:07:48.201+00:002015-02-13T14:07:48.201+00:00Aah, Sue has answered already on the debris.
