For the last week or so, something is causing the leaves on tips of branches to fall, making a mess. I'm thinking it might be birds going after the little green pods. My question is, how long does this typically last. I live in Northern Virginia. The tree was mistakenly planted over 35 years ago in front of a townhouse with a small yard. I love it for its shade, but it is a messy tree and drives my next door neighbor nuts. I have tried to keep up with this leaf drop mess, but I'm wearing out! Thanks for your help.
