This is WAR

Hey - so what are you doing today?  Me?  I'm at war with a Sapodilla tree.  This thing drops more leaves, buds and grenade shaped, ripened fruit than all US bombers in all wars combined. It is a full time job keeping ahead of the annoying sticky leaves and buds that adhere to the crevices in the deck. Not to mention, risking my life by lounging on the deck when a squishy, gooey, projectile decides to launch from its nest. Wikipedia says that they are edible.  Ok - maybe that would be one way to fight them.  Buy a monkey and train it to gather Sapodilli (pl?). It was also mentioned that the mushy missiles are high in latex content.  Hmmm - never really thought about increasing my balloon/rubber glove intake. Maybe for increased buoyancy?  We are close to water...  I am seriously thinking about more drastic measures... don't tell the tree huggers.
