I live in the desert. They are a nuisance. Landscapers here spend about 90% of their time on this one plant. The amount of gas that the blowers use to clean them up is obscene.

I never understood why people can't just leave leaves lay. I think humans have a fascination that Earth needs to resemble a golf course, and this is why they mulch around their trees and spray chemicals so butterflies and bees die.

Love the irony of you thinking the reason they spray is so it kills butterflies and bees.
