I have been battling the black walnut tree in our yard in an attempt to keep up with the massive amount of leaves that it is dropping right now. The above picture is the view from the roof before work began. Twenty-four hours ago it looked identical. I spent a few hours yesterday sweeping the roof, cleaning the gutters, and raking the yard. I filled our yard waste bin, as well as a few biodegradable yard waste bags. The roof was clean. The gutters were clear. The yard was green.
Then the wind picked up. Then the rain came. Then leaves fell from the tree's branches as though yellow and brown snow. It appears as though yesterday's work never happened.
I will work again today, but the tree still clings to at least one-third of its leaves and it is supposed to rain again. The battle continues.
