When we lived in North Hollywood we had a line of them, and it was as though God gave some kind of command ("Shed NOW!") they all dump all those bloody individual leaves/petals/whatever ALL OVER. You can't sweep them, you can't use the Big Mufferthunkin' Leafblower Of Neighbour-Annoying on them, and you can't hose them away. They stay until they dry, and in the meantime you slip and slide on them. Now we have a banana tree. It produces exactly zero bananas: its raison d'être appears to be to drop fronds on the dog.
