Very messy
Leaves always dropping
Leaves' sap drips everywhere around this tree for at least five feet away from the tree ( due to wind )

Leaves are dark and glossy - and almost diamond shaped. The fruits ripen throughout winter and can be somewhat messy when they drop their seeds. Flowers bloom in late spring and are very pretty.
